About me¶
My name is Maxine Tan, and I am a student at Charlotte Latin School. I really want to pursue engineering as a career, so FabAcademy will set me up really nicely for that!
Work¶
From April 2018 through August 2018, I worked with Nigel Zheng in the Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science department at UNC Charlotte. I did motion analysis on a study focused on the effectiveness of different types of total knee replacements (TKA).
In the upcoming summer (summer 2019), I will take an internship at Duke underneath Ken Gall in the Mechanical Engineering Department.
