Meet the incredibly talented Victoria Kolmac, a university student with a passion for the intersection of biomedical engineering and computer science.

Victoria shares her fascinating journey with us, outlining how she and her team built a pulse oximeter from scratch using Python and ESP32 microcontrollers, as well as her work on an advanced project aimed at non-invasively detecting thoracic pressure changes related to sleep apnea. 

We also delve into the world of quantum computing, exploring the basics of qubits and superposition and how Python is used for predictive modeling in this space. With personal stories of overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome, we emphasise the importance of perseverance in technical fields and highlight the real-world applications of Python in healthcare.
