Meet Our Team
Kaylie Wong
PROJECT & GUI CONTROLLER CLASS LEAD
Kaylie will be graduating in June 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. As Team Lead, she is responsible for setting deadlines for the team, organizing various tasks, and coordinating with mentors and instructors. She is also focusing on creating the controller class of the GUI in order to connect user-generated actions from the view class to output actions in the model class. After graduation, she plans to pursue her Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering prior to entering the medical device industry. She was a competitive gymnast for 10+ years and still loves all things gymnastics-related.
Paul Yeung
GUI MODEL CLASS LEAD
Paul Yeung is currently studying biomedical engineering and will graduate in June 2021. He has contributed to the development of the graphical user interface (GUI). Currently, his role in the project is to create the model class of the GUI. That is, he will be integrating existing stent centerline equations with SolidWorks commands once the view class brings forth the stent specifications from the GUI controller. In addition to class work, Paul also is a competitive figure skater, having won multiple national titles over a sixteen year career, so far. He has also picked up photography and videography during COVID lockdown conditions.
Molly Ced
GUI VIEW CLASS LEAD
Molly will be graduating in June 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering specializing in Micro & Nano along with a minor in Materials Sciences. She focuses on developing the view portion of the user interface to link the user input to the mathematically derived wire centerline equations. After graduating, she plans on pursuing a Master's degree in Bioengineering and continuing into industry. Molly was a competitive player in the Tennis Club team at University of California, Irvine and enjoys cooking in her spare time.
Andrew Flach
VALIDATION & UNIT TEST LEAD
Andrew will graduate in June 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. As a Python programmer, he focuses on creating unit tests, and other validation tests to ensure that our coding project is functional and intuitive. After graduating, he plans on pursuing a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Product Design. He’s interested in continuing on into industry looking at Medical Device R&D Engineering positions. As a hobby, he loves to race time trial events at various tracks across California in his Volkswagen Golf GTI.
Nancy Morales
RESEARCH & SPHINX DOCUMENTATION LEAD
Nancy will be graduating in June 2021 with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. As research team lead, she has researched FDA guidelines, stent designs, and various braided stent mathematical models. Another of her focuses for this project is documentation via Sphinx in order to make sure all parts of the code can be understood for future reference. After graduation, she plans to begin working in the medical device industry. Due to her experience with culturing immune cells in en vitro work, she is also interested in the Biotechnology industry. She was a violist for 7 years and is very passionate about helping others.
Project Mentors
