WHS Member Spotlight

Daria Narmoneva

1. When and how did you first get involved with the WHS?
I am a member of the WHS since 2007. I was a new Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati and was introduced to the WHS by Dr. Tim Crombleholme, who was at Cincinnati Children’s hospital at the time and was my collaborator and mentor. It was not a straightforward decision, because WHS did not have any engineering subsection, and it was quite uncommon for the engineering faculty to be involved with non-engineering societies. I now consider it as one of my best professional decisions.

2. As a clinician or a scientist, what is the most rewarding part of your job?
I am a scientist, a teacher and a mentor, and some of my closest friends and collaborators are clinicians. The most rewarding part of my job is being able to connect biomedical engineering students with the medical world, and to share my passion for biomedical science with the new generation of engineers and future scientists.
