Hannah Kuecker

Biomedical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin

Hannah Kuecker is from League City, Texas, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering. During her undergraduate career, she built a strong foundation in both research and service. At UT’s Baker Lab, she investigated novel compounds for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, evaluating inflammatory responses in cell and animal models. Building on this research foundation, Kuecker interned at the Human Engineering Research Labs in Pittsburgh, where she supported early-stage development of a virtual coaching system for manual wheelchair users, helping secure IRB approval, conduct human subjects research, and analyze biomechanical data related to wheelchair interface pressure and posture.

In addition to her technical work, Kuecker served in leadership at Matriculate, where she mentored first-generation high school students through the college application process. Her commitment to the community also extended to her volunteer work with hospice patients, where she provided companionship and support at the end of life.

At EnMed, Kuecker aims to integrate engineering approaches into healthcare solutions. She is especially drawn to the potential of biomedical tools in oncology—such as targeted drug delivery systems, imaging technologies, and machine learning models—to refine diagnostics, personalize therapies, and reduce treatment-related side effects. By combining her engineering training with a physician’s perspective, she hopes to help bridge the gap between innovation and patient-centered care.

In her free time, Kuecker enjoys spending time with friends, especially over a competitive board game night, a casual volleyball match, or a long walk on a new trail. She also plays the flute and often drives home to spend quality time with her family.
