Nilsson Holguin is from Elmhurst, NY. He is in his first year in the department of Biomedical Engineering with advisor Stephan Judex. He did his undergraduate work at Trinity College. His hobbies include reading and movies. “I have completed several research projects but the two from which I have most learned and loved are the micro-tensile testing machine I built over the last summer of my senior year and the determination of physiological limits in lateral bending of feline and human cadaveric spines over the first summer before entering graduate school. Both projects have proven to me that I want to do research. It allows me to be curious and endlessly ask, “Why?” without sounding tedious. Learning the reasons why the body works the way it does is exciting but probably an experience humbled by actually solving a biomedical engineering. I found that I love working on real biological problems but, most importantly, I love interpreting the results because that is where the unknown realm of the world enters projects.” You can visit his website here.
