IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers with members from 97 countries around the world. EMBS provides its members with access to the people, practices, information, ideas, and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest-growing fields in science. 

Being the elected global student representative, I speak on behalf of all EMB undergraduate/graduate students and represent the students' views during the EMBS AdCom (Administrative Committee, that makes executive-level decisions for the Society). Propose and vote on new initiatives that help the needs and concerns of all EMB students.
