Sofia Mena Email & Phone Number

I am a junior Biomedical Engineering student at Rutgers University, passionate about using engineering innovation to address real-world healthcare challenges. My academic journey has provided me with a strong blend of technical knowledge and hands-on experience enabling me to excel in design, analysis, and problem-solving for biomedical applications.In my various roles, I’ve honed my abilities in project management, data interpretation, and collaborative teamwork. As a Lead Systems Engineer for NASA L'Space Mission Concept Academy, I spearheaded a team in designing a conceptual Mars rover mission, mastering skills in component design, budgeting, and risk analysis. My laboratory experience has deepened my understanding of research techniques and the importance of precision in advancing medical technology.What excites me most is applying engineering principles to create impactful solutions, whether it's designing models for biomechanics or optimizing physiological signal processing. I am eager to contribute my skills to a medical device or pharmaceutical company, where I can help improve healthcare systems and positively impact patients’ lives.
