I started working in July 2020 as a research technician for the Center for Engineering in Medicine and Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The research I was involved in was related to the preservation and perfusion of organs for transplant, and also involved work in xenotransplantation. During this time I volunteered at COVID-19 vaccination clinics as a member of the Boston Medical Reserve Corps. In August, 2022 I joined the Medical Scientist Training Program through the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois-Chicago, where I will complete a joint MD\/PhD degree.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program of Study\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Major: Biomedical Engineering<\/li>\n<li>Concentration: Nanotechnology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>BU Involvement:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BU Red Cross<\/li>\n<li>Pep Band<\/li>\n<li>Scarlet Band<\/li>\n<li>Global Medical Brigades<\/li>\n<li>Alternative Service Break<\/li>\n<li>Kilachand Honors College Ambassador<\/li>\n<li>Engineering Dean&#8217;s Host<\/li>\n<li>Alpha Eta Mu Beta Honors Society<\/li>\n<li>Order of the Engineer<\/li>\n<li>Teaching Assistant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Honors and Awards:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Engineering Student Alumni Association Award<\/li>\n<li>Senior Engineering Capstone Societal Impact Award, Second Place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":16931,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/17627"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16931"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/17627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17773,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/17627\/revisions\/17773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/khc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
