Bio: We are a team of undergraduate students hailing from UNSW and our strength is our diversity! We boast an impressive range of academic backgrounds including Medicine, Medical Sciences, Computer Science as well as Engineering under the majors of Mechanical, Mechatronic and Biomedical. As such, we have each been able to bring forth the expertise provided by our respective fields and collaborate productively.
