About Me
Hey there, I’m Osman Hameed, a Biomedical Engineering student at Wayne State University focused on solving real-world problems through hands-on design, research, and teamwork. One of my proudest moments was leading the team that took first place at the National Siemens Realize LIVE Design Hackathon.
In the research world, I currently work in two labs. In Dr. Cameron Bass’s lab, I engineered a three-point bone breaking fixture to analyze fracture mechanics. In my second position, I worked on building flexible brain ventricle models using patient MRI data.
