When I saw the videos of a blind mother seeing her daughter and a deaf baby hearing his mom’s voice for the first time in their lives, my mind was blown by the whole idea behind biomedical technology. My intrinsic impression of the chemical or engineering nature of medical technology as “cold” was warmed by massive altruistic acts it has done for humanity.

Captured in the idea of biomedical engineering, I wanted to know everything about it. However, after taking various courses at HKUST, I realized that handling biomedical technology is not about being omniscient. Rather, it is about researching and exploring continuously to be rich in knowledge. The imperfect and sometimes contradictory nature of biomedical engineering pulled me closer to the subject.

As I continue my university studies, I’ve been trying to explore tangents of engineering as well and I eventually realized I don’t have to necessarily confine myself or my career path in research to pursue my passion in engineering. I have been putting myself in various areas such as consulting and investments, and I hope I will find my own way here to make a contribution in bioengineering!
