I want to pursue my studies at a higher level and integrate the Master in Biomedical Engineering. That is why I would like to apply to the University of Bern.
I began my professional career by choosing a mechanical apprenticeship. However, after the apprenticeship, I did a technical course of sanitation and environment, profession on which I did my first internship. Throughout this experience, I discovered an enormous curiosity about electronics and a while after studying at home, I was sure that I should study electronics at university.
My knowledge in various subjects allowed me to participate in different roles. During the second semester I had the pleasure of giving programming classes for beginners. I was also invited to participate

During my studies at Telecom Bretagne I participated in a project of the school with the company Excense. On this occasion I worked with three students and three professors: Messieurs François Gallé, Gilles Coppin and Madame Mayline Laurent.
These experiences made me familiar with the French culture and their teaching system, while I improved my electronics skills. The stay in France allowed me to report my potential in the sector of research and development and since that I continue to work in this branch. After my return to Brazil, in partnership with the professor Roberto Neli, we began a project in my university whose goal is to develop a box to improve the transport of human organs. This problem is quite common in Brazil, where there is neither a good structure nor a good investment on health.
In 2015, in parallel with the studies and the project, I started an internship in electronics engineering (embedded) in sector of Research in Development at the company Akiyama. At Akiyama I worked on two products. The first is called Biopad, the purpose of this product was to put together different devices that the company sales in a single touch device. The second product was the Biocrypto. It's a fingerprint recognition device with the tamper-prof system and several possibilities of
I have been curious about the natural world for as long a time as I can remember. As a child. I moved from one fascination to the next, always chasing discovery of the origin of different aspects of nature and trying to determine how they fit into their settings.
The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know. This didn’t upset me; it made me curious. Because, of all the things that we should know about, surely our own minds and our own bodies are paramount among them, and yet we still have so much to learn. I’ve since learned that this phenomenon is not restricted to the biological – gravity is one of the most important things in our lives, yet we do not know its cause. But the biomedical questions continue to fascinate me, perhaps because the answers are so vital. Sure, cosmology is intriguing, but what about a cure for cancer, or even the common cold? What about a way of repairing or bypass...
Many great inventions have been made through research in biomedical engineering, for example, genetic engineering, cloning, and insulin. After insulin has been invented, there are still a lot of problems with the purity and the quantity of the insulin produced. Biomedical engineering devised a way to produce large quantities of insulin with a higher level of purity, which has saved a lot of human lives. Although biomedical engineering just been officially founded 200 years ago, its practice has been with us for centuries. According to The Whitaker Foundation website, 3,000-year-old mummy from Thebes, which uncovered by German archeologists, with a wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a big toe is the oldest known limb prosthesis and Egyptian listen to the internal of human anatomy using a hollow reed, which is what today’s stethoscope. No matter what the date, biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. These advances by biomedical engineering have created a significant impact to our lives. I have determined to become a biomedical engineer. Biomedical engineering will have a good prospect because it will become one of the most important careers in the future.
The advanced medical equipment cannot be used by medical professionals in the developing country, consumes a lot of electricity, and could possibly even break down and just stop working. Donated devices often run on different voltages than that which is standard in developing countries such as incubators for premature babies as states in Scientific American. Robert Malkin, a Biomedical Engineering professor at Duke University believed that every piece of donated equipment had potential to harm the recipient. He further adds that donations could be effective but that would require a lot of effort as the organizations and healthcare industry needs to acquaint themselves with the recipients’ specific needs and need to not only donate equipment but also provide them with the ability to use the equipment in a sustainable
First, I love new technology and believe that innovation and creativity is a very important asset as a BTA. Since I was young, I have highly enjoyed exploring new technology and solve technical problems. Even though there are biomedical engineer and mechanical engineer in my family, I am always the first one who finds out how to solve the technical problems and how to use the new electronic devices without reading instructions. Also, as I noticed the phenomenon of antibiotic abuse and the severe consequence of drug resistance, I independently designed an innovative research, focusing on the effect of biosurfactant on
As a current biomedical engineer student, my interests are drawn towards tissue engineering, as well as orthopedics and oncology. There is a certain degree of emotional attachment to these areas. I was born with one kidney and needed immediate surgery to remove kidney stones last year. I had two bars and twenty-one screws placed in my spine to correct scoliosis at a young age. Finally, my grandmother had colon cancer, which spread like wildfire and killed her within six months.
The complexity of the human body is what I find most interesting, especially the immune system and the impacts it has on our daily lives when dealing with cancer and genetic disorders and I want to have a better understanding of the common illnesses around us. My desire to study Biomedical Sciences is supported by the experience I have gained at A-level. I have an in depth understanding of the human body's ability to fight diseases. I have gained laboratory skills and enhanced my analytical thinking techniques, interlinking various points to produce the most suitable response to a hypothesis, vital for a role in Biomedicine. My mathematical prowess has given me new ways to deal with a given problem.
However, my curiosity and thirst for more understanding in the field remain unsatisfied, and I know that I have to obtain a solid educational background upon which to consolidate my widespread knowledge as well as build my future practice. In my endeavor to be an outstanding doctoral scholar, I strongly believe that D.Phil. in Engineering Science programme in the University of Oxford will offer an ideal environment in which to test and strengthen my understanding of such discipline, while being a place where I could formulate engineering theories and principles, and contribute my new knowledge to the field of research and development in biomedical areas with the aim of improving quality and standards of healthcare. The reason for choosing the University of Oxford is its high reputation for producing eminent graduates, and being on the cutting edge of academic research in biomedical engineering. It has the essence to transform my aspiration into reality and consummates my keen dream of standing on the foremost front-line in my field of interest.
Previously a year six open evening, from this I have gained greater communication skills, talking in a group, public speaking and all-round more approachable. Also I recently volunteered to assist in presenting an assembly for years 7 – 11 to promote the ‘Hour of Code’, ‘BAFTA Young Games Designer of the Year’ and computer science in general, from this I have gained greater communication skills, talking in a large group, public speaking and presenting/leading an a presentation. My class and I also volunteered last year to aid in the coding workshops that Platform Expo organized, teaching younger years how to write simple programs in Python, from this I have improved my problem solving skills, working with children, communication skills, talking in a group, public speaking and again becoming more approachable as a person. I chose to do a Subsidiary in Art and Design due to it allowing me to comprehend what will be aesthetically pleasing to the user in any aspect of computer science that I wish to go into, such as graphical design, games design or some aspects of coding such as a UI for a
Together we research various medical technological
While still in high school, before I even decided on which university I wanted to attend, I knew I wanted to study abroad and explore another country’s rich history and culture. Currently, I have never been outside of the United States, and while I love my country, I have always aspired to travel outside of it and pursue my passion for traveling. Being able to study my major of biology in another country with an exciting and different ecosystem would be an opportunity of a lifetime for me, and it would allow me to explore and appreciate the study of life in a contrasting and diverse ecosystem from what I am used to. Costa Rica would enable me to pursue my passion for biology in a unique environment where I can study tropical biology or conservation marine biology up close on a personal level.
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
Becoming a biomedical engineering is difficult and requires some work, but it is not impossible. A person can actually begin working after pursuing his/her bachelor’s degree in either biomedical engineering or in a different engineering field. Although a bachelor’s degree in engineering will require either a graduate degree in BME or on-the-job training. There are many institutions that offer such training and are also top schools for BME in the midwest such as: Illinois Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Southern Illinois University, University of Illinois in Chicago, and U of I in Urbana-Champaign. There are special requirements/qualities that will increase the chance of being hired as a BME. Having integrity, innovation, persistence, and dependability are really important qualities that one should have. A BME is depended on to be able to create projects or designs in a given amount of time. Biomed engineers often work together and in groups which require cooperation, attention to details, adaptivity/flexibility, and analytical thinking. Putting together ideas and being able to listen to others as well as combining ideas is what will bring success as well as create designs for prosthetics. A...
Learning something new can be a scary experience. One of the hardest situation I 've ever do was learn how to not do what was expected of me. I was always afraid to go against the tide, but I decided that was an valuable skill that I should learn. I also thought It would be favorable and benefit me to become a stronger person. What I didn 't realize was that learning not to do what was expected of me would also cause me a extra confident person.
I am applying for a Masters in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Solid Mechanics to expand on my study of and experience with materials. I have thoroughly enjoyed studying Materials Science and Engineering as an undergraduate at UCLA. I now look forward to moving into graduate study in a field of engineering with a related, but different perspective. Materials Science and Engineering has allowed me to explore both materials and other fields within engineering, contributing to my strong interest in combining my study of Materials Science and Engineering with Mechanical Engineering. I have completed basic coursework in most areas of engineering, learning statics, thermodynamics, basic programming, and circuit design. This has provided a strong foundation to continue graduate study in other engineering disciplines. I
