Amulya is interested in anything that has to do with biology. He received honors in biology in high school and competed in the Science Olympiad.
What challenges did he face?
- His greatest obstacle in this program was drafting an academic-level paper as someone who had no prior experience writing academic papers.
- Rather than simply reporting the available literature, he required mentoring to critically arrange and discuss evidence, articulate his point of view, and make critical discussion/conclusions about the chosen issue.
Matched professor:
The mentor is Brown University’s Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering. She is also the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society’s secretary.
How did our program help him?
- With the mentor’s help, he was able to prepare a research paper on stem cell therapy for corneal regeneration.
- He picked up some new terms relating to corneal regenerative therapy.
Below is part of an example work done during the program:
