Thalía is a Bioengineering Junior at UTEC and is originally from a town in Piura, Perú. Since she was 13, she has accessed scholarships and programs to study outside her hometown and has managed to be an outstanding student in her school and university. All the opportunities she was granted so far have led her to share her knowledge with the people of her hometown, especially with those less fortunate. For that reason, she works to empower women and girls from her birthplace.

Bio

Thalía, a Bioengineering Graduate from UTEC (2023), is currently pursuing her MSc studies in Biomedical Engineering at École Polytechnique - Institut Polytechnique de Paris in France. During the last four years, she has used biologically-inspired engineering to create synthetic organ models across Peru, France, and Canada.

All the opportunities she was granted so far to become an engineer working and studying in prestigious institutions have led her to share her knowledge to shape the career of future female scientists. For that reason, she works to empower women and girls from her birthplace, democratize life sciences, and contribute to biomedical research in her country.

Moreover, she has been a volunteer for social programs that follow the same objective as her and runs her own non-profit organization. Thalía considers herself a caring, creative, and responsible person. Besides engineering, she enjoys painting with watercolors, sleeping, and eating soups. She also loves doing yoga and knitting!
