Work

During my internship at ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, I contributed to the multidisciplinary projects involving cardiovascular flow simulation and control. My primary role involved developing hardware systems that resemble human physiological conditions such as systole, diastole, mean arterial pressures and data analysis involving data from flow models. Working closely with biomedical engineers and clinicians, I gained practical experience in embedded systems design, real-time control, and medical device integration. This hands-on involvement not only strengthened my technical and collaborative skills but also deepened my understanding of how engineering solutions can directly support patient care and medical research.

Experience

During my internship at the ARTORG Center in Bern, my days were filled with learning, exploration, and meaningful relationships. I stayed in student housing, which helped me meet other international interns and students. Outside of work, I enjoyed socializing over shared meals, going hiking in the Swiss Alps, and visiting nearby cities like Lucerne and Zurich. The group's cultural diversity enriched every conversation, and I quickly formed friendships that lasted beyond the internship. Trying Swiss cuisine, particularly fondue and Rösti, was a highlight, and I also enjoyed visiting local markets and cafés. This balance of work and cultural immersion made the experience not only professionally rewarding, but also personally memorable.

Discover

My internship at the ARTORG Center helped me uncover my profound motivation to work on purpose-driven engineering projects that directly improve people's lives. I found that what fascinates me the most is not simply addressing technical difficulties, but doing so in a way that benefits real-world healthcare outcomes. This event changed my perspective on my studies; what was once just academic now feels like the foundation for something far larger. It motivated me to be more intentional about the projects I take on and confirmed my passion to work in biomedical innovation. Most importantly, I discovered that I thrive in interdisciplinary contexts where curiosity, empathy, and technical aptitude combine to make a significant difference.
