Biography
Nathalia was a technician in electronics and robotics before she decided to go to college. After attending universities in Brazil (Unicamp and USP) and Germany (Stuttgart and Bonn), she was a researcher at Stanford. She still likes to travel and her group collaborates with universities in Israel, Ireland, Peru, and Korea.
The is affiliated with the ECE and Bioengineering Departments. 麻豆国产 team has interests in Chemistry, Math, Physics, and several Engineering disciplines. High school, undergraduate, and graduate students perform team-based projects on assistive technology, wearable embedded systems, neural implants, and bioinstrumentation.
Nathalia鈥檚 activities center around teaching Circuits, Team-Based projects, and Neural Prosthetics (graduate-level class). She attends (too many) meetings but she would rather stay in the lab and play with electronics, soldering, and cell cultures. She also sometimes presents 鈥淲hat is engineering鈥 to elementary and middle schools.
