Top SchoolShilpa Rao is a biomedical engineering student at the University of Waterloo with 12 years of practical experience across biomechanics, biomaterials, and sports engineering research. She currently interns at the Skeletal Observation Laboratory, where she conducts biplanar x-ray and motion-capture data collection, develops analysis and visualization tools (including VR), and maintains complex research datasets with a focus on data integrity and participant confidentiality. As a former Math & Modelling lead and President of Waterloo iGEM, she has led multidisciplinary teams to publish research, win international awards, and design computational models and bioengineered solutions for clinical problems. Her hands-on lab background spans bioprinting bacteriophage-embedded hydrogels, coating implants for infection resistance and osteointegration, and testing protective footwear鈥攄emonstrating both wet-lab and computational versatility. Outside the lab she applies creative leadership as a professional dancer and teacher, combining communication, pedagogy, and media production skills that strengthen team engagement and outreach. She is driven to improve healthcare accessibility through biomechanics and translational bioengineering that balance rigorous data work with human-centered design.
