Hey! I’m Naavya Shrivastava, a freshman at the University of Washington with an interest in Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) and Global Health. My interests lie at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and design. I’ve explored biomechanics through designing and prototyping a prosthetic leg for a dog, as well as cancer genetics, particularly the metabolic pathways involved in cancer metastasis. Beyond science and engineering, I’ve always loved art and enjoy finding creative ways to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. My goal is to combine my technical and creative interests to develop thoughtful, human-centered solutions that make a difference.
