In this episode, Ph.D. candidate Erin Kreis walks us through her journey from a Mechanical Engineering undergrad to a Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. at Stevens. She explains how mechanical engineering provides the foundation of physics and motion, while biomedical engineering applies those principles to the human body, tissue behavior, and cellular processes.

Erin discusses pitching through Launchpad, gaining entrepreneurial confidence, and how those experiences supported the development of her startup, Silver Strides, aimed at improving accessibility and mobility solutions for aging populations. She also highlights the community-driven nature of the BME department, supportive faculty and the department’s energy around events like Pink October and BME Research Day.
