M.S. Mechatronics & B.S. Biomechanical Engineering. I build engineering solutions for real problems in medicine and human health.
About
Graduated in June 2026 with a B.S. in Biomechanical Engineering and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, specialized in Mechatronics. I want to combine my expertise in hardware, software, and biology to engineer solutions for the human body and mind.
My focus is the medical space: building devices and tools that solve real clinical problems, from hospital-tested prototypes to wearable technology.
Experience
Team Member and Captain
Selected to represent Belgium on multiple international stages and contributed to several Belgian championship wins across the U16–U21 age groups.
B.S. Biology
Team Member and Captain.
Ran experiments with nurturing paradigms and brain staining to study neural and behavioral differences in mouse models, then analyzed results in R Studio.
Medicine
Studied Medicine for a semester, before deciding to pursue engineering and field hockey full time in the United States. Continued competing internationally for Belgium's U21 team throughout this period.
B.S. Biomechanical Engineering & M.S. Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics)
Coursework spanning mechanics of materials, tissue engineering, biotransport, smart product design, and circuits.
Team Member and Captain. Elected by teammates and coaching staff, balancing 25+ hours a week of training and competition with a full course load. Received the Empower Award and was named MAC Freshman of the Year.
Served as one of 13 Residential Assistants, organizing on-call coverage on weekends and planning quarterly events to build community.
Co-engineered a nanoparticle as a non-invasive treatment for corneal scarring, the third leading cause of blindness worldwide; placed 2nd in the Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program's final pitch.
Automated proteomics workflows spanning microscopy to mass spectrometry.
Tested and iterated on a wearable smart robotic glove for physical skill training.

Projects
Built an autonomous robot that uses IR sensors and line detection to navigate, with stepper motors controlled by encoder feedback to compete in a real-time game.
Built a working electronic pinball machine from scratch — wiring sensors and actuators to a microcontroller that runs the game logic and keeps score live.
Designed a device to help preterm infants recovering from heart surgery feed sooner. I spent time in the clinic to understand the problem, then prototyped and tested a solution with the care team.
Built a centrifuge holding four tubes, using a phototransistor to capture real-time RPM and a PID control loop with a timer to hit target speeds.
Built a wirelessly controlled boat using Xbee radios and dual thrusters, fitted with a water gun and a passive trap for catching aquatic fauna. Shaking the controller triggered a refueling mechanism to keep it running.
Designed a beer cup that keeps drinks cold without diluting them, using swappable cold packs. Machined from two parts that screw together and seal watertight with O-rings.
