Duke University

Hi, I'm Aanya.

I study biomedical engineering and electrical & computer engineering at Duke. I like building software and models that help people make better decisions about health, and I like climbing rocks on the weekends.

Looking ahead

What I'm working toward

  1. 01

    Travel the world

    Seven countries so far, and there’s a long list of places I haven’t been yet.

  2. 02

    Explore new things

    New routes, new recipes, new fields. I’d rather try it than wonder about it.

  3. 03

    Build tech that helps health

    Tools and models that help people make better decisions about their health.

  4. 04

    Meet new people & perspectives

    The best ideas I’ve had came from conversations with people who think differently.
