Bio

My name is Leah Lukose and I'm a driven and innovative student passionate about biomedical engineering and ethical innovation in STEM. With a strong background in computational modeling, I aspire to develop artificial living systems that reduce the need for animal testing in research. Beyond academics, I'm a dedicated leader, founding a STEM summer camp for middle school girls, mentoring students in science competitions, and serving on my school’s Science Council and Student Ambassador team. My commitment to service is reflected in 500+ volunteer hours and working towards the Stars and Stripes Award in AHG. I plan to pursue a career at the intersection of engineering and medicine, developing transformative technologies that improve lives.
