Hello! My name is Aethyr Villela. I'm a biomedical engineering student, with a concentration in instrumentation and imaging, attending the University of Texas at Austin. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any projects or work I may be interested in!
Previously interned at Crown Castle, through the Break Through Tech AI Program, to develop a computer vision model that was trained on over 3000 images. I designed it in 3 weeks to detect brain tumors at an accuracy of 71%.
Currently conducting work with SpineHope, a non-profit dedicated to helping those with spine conditions. Working with a team of 3 other UT students and a Project Manager. Earning an IBM Project Management Certificate through PAA.
Placed at 7th at MDM. Designed, over the course of a weekend, an alternative to the pap smear. Networked with industry professionals and students from across the country.
I manage a team of 8 other students and coordinate events to serve over 170 students.
I provide guidance and support to first-year engineering students and lead professional development and technical skills workshops for over 20 students each cohort.
As VPE, I coordinate our volunteering efforts, organize a Case Competition during the Fall semester, and organize a career panel in the Spring semester.
Represented the Cockrell School of Engineering and Biomedical Engineering department at various events, provided tours of our makerspace Texas Inventionworks, and communicated the value of an engineering education to over 150 prospective and incoming students each session.
