Sonja Košir is in her fourth year at the University of Cincinnati studying biomedical engineering. She has had four semesters of engineering internships and especially enjoyed her work in early phase research and development of medical devices used in cardiac and thoracic surgery. She has a great interest in developing medical technologies to promote the health and wellness of her community. Outside of classes, Sonja is also very involved with the Catholic center, the club running team, her engineering sorority, and volunteering at the community food pantry.
Sonja is very excited to spend time with her family in Slovenija while continuing to pursue her interests in medical research with her mentors, prof. dr. Damijan Miklavičič and Angelika Vižintin, and exploring the beautiful country of her grandparents. She is excited to go hiking, learn more of the Slovene language, and be immersed in the culture.
