About

Julia is a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University studying Bioengineering. She spent her undergraduate career at the University of California at Berkeley, graduating with a B.S. in Bioengineering. Since coming to Stanford, Julia has worked on research concerning bone biomechanics with applications in treating osteoporosis. She has analyzed how physical forces placed on bones during movement affect bone shape and strength, and has also investigated the changes in the mechanical environment of the periosteum during chicken embryonic bone growth. Aside from research, she has also been actively involved with various groups on campus. Julia was a Student Coordinator for the Department of Bioengineering, acting as a liaison between students and faculty, and organizing various activities for students. She was also the President of the Mechanical Engineering Women's Group, involved with planning the Women's Perspectives in Engineering seminar series, which aimed to enhance the graduate engineering women community at Stanford.
