About Emilia

Wiring the robot.
Programming.
Go Pilots!

Emilia is a rising senior computer science and math student at the University of Portland in Portland, OR.

When not studying, Emilia lives for anything having to do with music: playing piano at a local retirement center, guitar practice between math problems, and choir (really she can sing anything from soprano through tenor). Even in the Portland rain, she enjoys hiking, running, boating, and swimming. She has even saved a couple of lives as a lifeguard at summer camp! Alongside her regular computer science assigned tasks, she loves writing Android Applications for her close friends and building regolith-digging robots with UP's Robotics Club for the NASA Lunabotics Mining Competition. Perhaps she will work for NASA someday!

During the summer of 2013, Emilia was incredibly grateful to receive a grant from the Distributed Research Experience for Undergraduates (DREU) program for Biomedical Informatics and Computer Science research at the University of Washington College of Computer Science and Engineering. Thus, she is humbled and fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the technology-driven medical revolution that can save people's lives. Yes, it's all about serving others.
