Black Excellence in STEM: How to Build Cool Things, Break the Rules and Stay Audacious

Coralie received her BASC in Biomedical Engineering from UBC and is currently a MD Candidate in the Faculty of Medicine. She bridges her passion for patient-centric medicine with my enthusiasm for creating technology. She is naturally drawn to a space of innovation and challenge where she can foster her fascination with robotics, medicine, software, and neurotech. In 2023, she received the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council’s Undergraduate Student Research Award. This allowed her to intern as a research assistant in UBC’s Molecular Mechatronics Lab where she fabricated soft, capacitive pressure sensors and integrate them into a robotic hand.
