I like Soccer: my favorite team is Palmeiras, in the Brasileiro, and my favorite player is Diego Souza.

I'm hoping to go into to Biomedical Engineering and potentially find my way into research and graduate school.

As far as Grand Challenges go, in accordance with my interests, I am attracted to the idea of Reverse Engineering the Brain. I am a subscriber to the MIT Technology Review Magazine and have seen the trend increasingly towards more medical applications of technology. The following article that I found on their website refers to the Reverse Engineering of the Brain and was one of the readings that got me into Engineering, in particular Biomedical Engineering: Technology Review: Reverse-Engineering the Brain, Fred Hapgood, Techology Review, updated Tuesday, July 11, 2006, accessed 26 August 2009 (Reverse Engineering the Brain)
