Welcome to my webpage! My name is Smriti Valipe Rao.

Education

I am in my Freshman year at NC State University. I am intending to do Electrical Engineering as my major. I am anticipating to graduate in May 2020.

Interests

Growing up in India, I have seen a lot of people suffer due to unreliable and unaffordable medical tests. I am interested in solving this problem. To do this, I need knowledge in the area of Electrical Engineering (to make cheap and reliable devices for testing) and Biomedical Engineering (to know more about the human body). After getting my BS degree in Electrical Engineering, I intend to go to graduate school and take Biomedical Engineering as my MS major.
