Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University
Alex Ramos was raised in Coppell, Texas and graduated with her bachelor in science in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University- College Station. As an undergraduate, she founded TAMU Urban Farms United and repaired hospital equipment while volunteering abroad in Rwanda. She was awarded the Class of 1980 E. King Gill Selfless Service Award at graduation.
Alex chose EnMed because she wanted to use her background in biomedical engineering to design medical devices relevant to her field of interest, orthopedic surgery. With the continuous advancement of orthopedic implants and the regular introduction of new devices, there is significant potential for innovation in this field. She hopes to contribute to the development of orthopedic implants that, using 3D construction software, can be customized or modified for individual patient anatomy and needs.
Outside of school, Alex enjoys family trips to Colorado for skiing and hiking. She also likes traveling, including weekend getaways around Texas, and has recently begun going on cruises with her significant other.
