I am a Ph.D. student since Fall 2024. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry in the Fall of 2021 at UNT. 

Interests: I am intrigued by any research revolving around cardiovascular diseases and ways to cure/prevent them. However, my primary interest is in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. 

Hobbies: I have a passion for hunting, I enjoy swimming and working on cars and also I like working out.

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in UNT's Biomedical Engineering Department. Previously I completed my master's at the University of Houston Clear Lake, majoring in Biotechnology with a minor in Molecular Biology. My professional background includes valuable experience at Baylor College of Medicine, where I worked on RNA sequencing, library preparation, handling automation units, and ensuring the quality control of DNA and RNA samples.

Currently, I am part of the Adam Yang Lab, focusing on cardiac differentiation for disease modeling, this aligns with my deep interest in the cardiovascular system. This research allows me to delve into my passion for understanding cardiovascular diseases and exploring modeling approaches.

Outside academia, I find joy in sketching, experimenting with new recipes, and staying engaged in stock markets. Long drives, hiking, and exploring new places help me unwind and connect with different cultures—a perfect balance to my academic pursuits. Looking forward to the exciting journey ahead!

I'm a second-year master’s student in the Biomedical Engineering department at the University of North Texas, where I’m focusing on advancing my knowledge in biomedical sciences. I completed my bachelor’s degree from Osmania University, majoring in Biotechnology and Microbiology.

My research focuses on understanding cardiotoxicity and developing strategies to minimize its impact on heart health. While working in Adam Yang’s lab, I aim to deepen my knowledge, actively contribute to the research, and make a meaningful impact in improving heart health and long-term outcomes for those affected.

Outside of my academic and research interests, I enjoy traveling, swimming, cooking, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Transferred to the University of North Texas in Spring 2023,  I am beginning my junior year as a biomedical engineering major with a focus on material science and engineering along with a minor in mathematics. I chose the material science route as I have an interest in tissue engineering as well as the development of hydrogels and their application to human tissue.

Interests: I look forward to further understanding how hydrogels and other medical device applications interact with tissue. As well as how different applications of regenerative medicine can be combined with the human body. In the future, I look forward to studying how aesthetic medicine such as fillers and Botox interact or affect tissue. 

Hobbies: spending time with family and friends, crocheting, cooking, learning new languages and playing with my dogs at the dog park. 

I am currently a senior pursuing my BS in Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Texas with a minor in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. 

I am interested in studying how electrical stimulation of cells can affect cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation as well as the possibility of manipulation of cellular activities to provide a strong footing in regenerative medicine of cardiovascular diseases. As for the future, I plan to pursue a career in research and design of cardiovascular devices. 

In my free time, I enjoy going on hikes, spending time with friends, dancing, cooking, and trying new foods.

I am currently a Junior in the Biomedical Engineering program pursuing the Biotechnology/Pre-med track with additional minors in Biology and Mathematics.

Interests: Research on cardiovascular diseases, including their prevention and treatment, interests me. My current research involves working with cardiac organoids and hydrogels to learn more about the human heart and how medication-induced therapy can help with specific conditions. I would love to advance in the fields of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering in the future. 

Hobbies: I like to work out, spend time with friends and family, and listen to music.

I am a sophomore pursuing my BS in Public Health at the University of North Texas with minors in Biology and Chemistry. 

Interests: After a year of working as an EKG technician, I would like to explore the use and hydrogels in promoting the repair of damaged heart tissue. In the future, I aim to get into medical school, with cardiology being a field of interest.

Hobbies: I love to play in orchestras as a double bassist, watch movies, read, explore new places to eat, and garden. 

I am a sophomore at UNT in the Biomedical Engineering program pursuing the Biotechnology track. I plan to graduate in 2027 with a BS in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics and Biology.

Interests: I am interested in studying cell engineering to revolutionize regenerative medicine, specifically its applications for treating heart disease and developing artificial organs. Through research, I hope to explore how stem cells can be used to engineer functional tissues of heart and offer new insights into treatment strategies for heart diseases.

Hobbies: Reading, hiking, crocheting, playing video games, listening to music.

I am currently enrolled in the TAMS (Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) Class of 2026 as a high school junior, pursuing the Mechanical and Energy Engineering Track.
