Current Activities: I´m conducting research with Dr. Marty Pagel
where we design new molecular imaging agents that can be used to study cellular apoptosis
and tumor angiogenesis. My projects include creating a Matlab analysis program for
measuring in vivo concentrations of these new agents, designing small animal
physiological monitoring instrumentation for MRI, and optimizing MRI acquisition
techniques. I really enjoy these research activities because they combine my interests
in Imaging and Instrumentation. Besides research, I´m also involved in Greek Life,
Athletic Clubs, and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society.
Why Case? At Case, it´s easy to let yourself become
immersed in the academic community. Smaller classes allow for building strong
relationships inside and outside of the classroom with students and teachers.
You can really feel like a part of this university when you attend.
Advice for Applicants: Like many other freshmen,
I didn´t know what Biomedical Engineering was all about when I first entered college.
For this reason, I enrolled in Introduction to Biomedical Engineering (EBME 105)
during my first semester. This optional course provided me with a great exposure
to many of the major topics in BME early in my academic career. It helped me decide
that this major was right for me, and also helped me choose my specialty sequence
within the BME curriculum. I´d strongly recommend this introductory course to all
new students who are considering a career in Biomedical Engineering.
