Current Trainees

Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2023

Bio

A life-long athlete, I am strongly influenced by my background as a D1 pole vaulter and hope to effect change in the way we diagnose injuries and enhance sport performance. My hometown is Scottsdale, AZ and I graduated from Elon University ('23) with a BS in Engineering (conc. biomedical engineering) and a minor in exercise science. My undergraduate thesis was an interdisciplinary research and development project leading to the design of the first women's pole vaulting shoes. Now, I hope to improve musculoskeletal imaging to evaluate movement and accurately diagnose injuries.
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Physics, admitted Autumn 2023

Bio

I am currently a PhD student in Biomedical Physics within the Department of Radiology at the School of Medicine. In the two years prior to Stanford, I was at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where I worked on airborne laser radar systems and was on the core team developing a laser-ultrasound system for medical imaging. My interests are at the intersection between medical technology innovation, clinical translation, and business.
