Piyush Awasthi

UBC School of Biomedical Engineering

Hello!

My name is Piyush, and this is where I share my thoughts, experiences and research with the world!

I am a third-year undergraduate student at the University of British Columbia, Canada. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering, with a focus in Cellular Engineering and a minor in Data Science. Apart from my studies, I am an avid hiker, enjoy grand strategy video games, and love war documentaries. Although I have enjoyed living in White Rock for the last six years, I spent most of my childhood enjoying the bright skies of Dubai, where I was first introduced to mechatronics through a elementary school robotics competition.

Since then, I have gained inspiration from society's rapid progress in the life sciences, facilitated by the collaboration of different labs, academics and institutions from around the world. I am yet to see this level of cooperation in any other industry, and is the reason driving me to pursue a career in biomedical research. Through this website, watch me and my projects evolve as and understanding of life grows, and I strive to join the global team of researchers that make an impact on healthcare!
