Ayma Waqar

I’m a bioengineering and entrepreneurship student at the University of Pennsylvania, currently working toward both my B.S.E. and M.Eng. degrees. I’ve been lucky to work on projects that combine healthcare and technology, from building tools to support diabetes care to contributing to pediatric cancer research at CHOP. I co-lead bioinformatics efforts for Global Brigades and co-founded a farming support app back home in Pakistan. Outside of academics, I’m president of Step Up Dog Training, love spending time with dogs, and enjoy being pretty average at a wide range of sports.
