Bioengineering

Amanda Craine
Amanda grew up in Doylestown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. With an interest in how the human body works, she always dreamed of pursuing a career in medicine. She first became interested in research as a high school student conducting research in an academic lab, where she learned that engineers can make significant impacts in medicine through their designs and findings. Therefore, she attended the Pennsylvania State University to study biomedical engineering and pursue her newfound passion for research. At Penn State, she conducted research on neurovascular coupling and how mechanosensitive channels impact fluid flow through the brain. She was also a member of the Millennium Scholars Program, where she served as a peer mentor and tutor for multivariable calculus and differential equations. She is now pursuing her PhD in bioengineering and is interested in studying cardiovascular imaging, particularly in improving imaging techniques to study congenital heart defects in adult patients.
