'''Serving as a UIF Since:''' Fall 2018<br> '''SchoolWhat she does now:''' Studies Human Biology at Universidad de la República . Before that, she completed the first three years of Biomedical Engineering at Universidad Tecnológica (UdelaRUTEC), Uruguayand she also has a background in Computer Science. She is mostly interested in bioengineering, tissue engineering, and neuroengineering, although her projects have a habit of taking her into completely different areas.
'''What she does nowthat means:''' Studies Human Biology at Universidad de la RepúblicaA mix of studying, research, teaching, programming, designing things, after completing the first three years of Biomedical Engineering at Universidad Tecnológica (UTEC)and occasionally figuring out why something that worked yesterday suddenly doesn't work anymore. She also has currently works as a background in Computer Science. Her main interests are '''bioengineering, tissue engineering, teacher and as a G1 Teaching and neuroengineering'''Research Assistant at the Biomedical Engineering Nucleus (NIB) at Hospital de Clínicas, and she enjoys exploring how technology and engineering can be used to better understand biological systemsUniversidad de la República.<br>
<br>'''About Natalia'''
'''What that meansNatalia Suárez is a University Innovation Fellow from Uruguay. She became a UIF in 2018 while studying Biomedical Engineering at UTEC, and later became a UI Guide, helping other Fellows through their own UIF experience. A lot has changed since then:''' Studyshe changed degrees, help at design thinkingdiscovered new areas of science, 3D printing workshopsworked on many different projects, trying and somehow ended up with even more things she wants to learn about brain computer interface and bioprinting, try to keep up with biomedical open source projects.<br>
'''Contact Her main interests are bioengineering, tissue engineering, and neuroengineering, but her about:''' path has never been particularly linear. She has worked and collaborated on projects involving assistive technologies with Teletón and Aprodime, infusion pumps, biomedical open-source hardware signal processing, digital fabrication, biomaterials, programming, and design thinking other technologies for healthcare. She has also participated in health<br>programs and academic experiences in Argentina, the United States, and Peru, including Argentine Society for Bioengineering, MIT, Aspire Institute and International Science Club.
Natalia'''Email:''' natalias interest in technology and health started long before she knew exactly what she wanted to study.suarez@estudiantesGrowing up, she was always looking for something new to learn or build, and computer science became one of the first ways she found to turn curiosity into something tangible.utecLater, biomedical engineering gave her a way to connect that interest with helping others.eduMoving into Human Biology was another step in that same process: getting closer to the biological questions that originally made her interested in healthcare.uy<br>
Natalia Suárez She currently works at NIB-UdelaR, where she participates in research and development, and teaches Computer Science at highschool. She is a University Innovation Fellow from Universidad Tecnológica del Uruguay also involved in IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (UTECEMBS) studying Biomedical Engineering. Her research interest includes clinical engineering, neuro-engIeering, tissue engineeringcurrently serving as Professional Development Coordinator for Latin America, and product designparticipates in different student and scientific initiatives.<br>
Natalia is originally from Paysandú, Uruguay, where One of the things she lived until 2017 when values most about the communities she moved to Fray Bentoshas been part of is the people. Being a UIF, Río Negro to study at Universidad Tecnológica. While she was in high-school studying computer science and information technology she was introduced to divers maker marathonsbecoming a UI Guide, labsworking with students, science fairs and camps that let participating in different scientific communities have all given her build a path through 2 majors; health the chance to meet people who are curious about completely different things and technology. She also seeks still find ways to improve education, emphasizing mental health, and raising awareness of neurobiological disordersbuild something together.<br>
At Universidad Tecnológica, Natalia volunteers at Lab-A ( Open Lab for innovation, development, entrepreneurship and technological research), where she helps at design thinking, 3D printing, and robotics She still likes the same things that brought her into this path in education workshops as Bits and Bricks program (educational robotics)the first place: learning, where she was introduced to the University Innovation Fellows Program. She also enjoys researching open source biomedical equipmentmaking things, personalized medicineasking too many questions, brain computer interface and tissue engineeringfinding unexpected connections between ideas. She is currently in just has a competition about brain-computer interface controlled vehiclesmuch longer list of questions now.<br>
From a very young age, Natalia was interested in innovation, technology, and health. This makes her join many extracurricular advanced activities to always keep learning, this taught her that one When she is never too young to learn. Growing upnot studying or working, she was also involved in musicis probably drawing, learning to play piano and guitar, and in sports learning rowing, skating, and taekwondoplaying video games or watching a series.<br>
