Hey everyone! I’m Eze. I am currently a first-year Bioengineering student here at Rice University, I am also the current DEI chair for the BIOE GSA so I am involved in a lot of the diversity workshops and events around the BRC! I work in a Biomaterials lab, so one thing I am proud of is using PEGDA hydrogels to better mimic the anatomical structure of aortic valves. I am really looking forward to making chess piece molds (mentioned in the BIOE 555 syllabus)  in this class. In the end, I hope to learn about the basic techniques used in the mass production of medical devices in this class.
