Hi! I am Anna. I am a chemical engineer currently taking an M.Sc in Bio and Nanomaterials. My interest in chemistry spans from quantum chemistry to molecular biology. When I am not reading up on useless knowledge about physics, chemistry or biology, I like to go running or practice yoga. I am fluent in Brazilian and PortugueseAnna EliassonBio and Nanomaterials -
I’m a master student in Industrial Management and Innovation with a background from Mechanical Engineering, and I did my B.Sc. in China. I shifted my major because I want to challenge myself more. Personally, I have a great passion for Formula One, tennis and football (sounds like boys interests). Literally, I have played a girls dress up mobile game for five years alreadyZiyu CenIndustrial Management and Innovation -
Hi! I am Mikael, a chemical engineer from Uppsala currently doing my M.Sc in materials sciences. My greatest interest lies in structural chemistry, although I like expanding my knowledge outside of just my own field, learning a little bit about everything to see the full picture. I am quite capable on the guitar, however "certain sources" state that I’m horrible at singing and I’m apparently tone-deaf.Mikael SvenssonChemical Engineering

Hiii, I am a master student in Pharmaceutical Science with backgrounds in Biology and Biomedical tech. I have an interest in research, especially in life science. My favourites are food and cat. My hobby is setting things on fire >:) I code for life and I will code for foodAnh Duc PhamPharmaceutical Modelling -
I am from India and currently, I am studying masters in Industrial Management and Innovation. I completed my bachelors in Industrial Engineering and Management. I like to work in a technological environment and build.Adarsh TewariIndustrial Management and Innovation -
I’m a 4th-year student of the master programme in chemical engineering with a passion for bio- and health technology. Personally, I'm also quite passionate about education and student rights so I’m currently the president of the educational council for my engineering program. I used to know how to rap the original 151 pokémon names to the beat of the fresh prince of Bel-Air opening theme.Therese YouChemical Engineering

Gemma Mestres has been coach of the Uppsala University team from the first edition in 2015-2016. She belongs to the Microsystems Technology Division of the Technological and Natural Sciences faculty. Her background is on the development and biological characterization of biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration. Right now she is aiming to use her knowledge on biomaterials, in vitro studies and microfluidics to create a new microfluidic device that will allow to study the biological properties of biomaterials aimed for bone regeneration.Gemma MestresAssociate Senior Lecturer, PhD, docent -
Currently I am Masters student of Embedded Systems. I did my bachelor in Computer System. I worked on assistive devices, part time instructor as well as Project Manager in IT firm. I like to challenge myself and try to hit my head against stuff that I don't know until I start getting it.Fawad AhmadEmbedded System

Hey, I am Kedar and one of the team captains of the team. I am from Mumbai, India studying embedded systems in Uppsala University and I have a great interest in developing and making cool thingsKedar Suhas JoshiEmbedded Systems
Team Contributions
Kedar is one of the team captains and his contributions range from keeping track of deadlines, helping out in the lab and technical design. Without him, we would forget to submit reports, attend meetings and fail to organize ourselves.
Luís is the second team captain, and his main contributions include literature research, working in the lab and overseeing the general scientific development of the biosensor.
Without Triinu’s diligence and work ethic, we wouldn’t have anything resembling a biosensor. When experiments failed, she was already a step ahead, looking for solutions and new ideas to explore. Triinu also participated actively in managing social media accounts.
Likewise, Michael’s passion and lighthearted manner made all the hard work that much easier. His main contributions are literature research, lab work and bothering the right people for advice with our sensor development.
Esther and Adarsh’s contributions are mostly related to the business plan of our biosensor. Adarsh also helped with several technical aspects of our biosensor design and Esther contacted doctors for insight on the current treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. They helped us customize our biosensor for the right market and made our business plan a reality.
Weam and Fawad’s contributions are mostly related to the app development and its integration with the biosensor hardware, as well as general technical support. Without them, we would still be wondering how to turn the EmStat on and to connect it properly, let alone set up the Bluetooth.
Securing sponsorship from Merck would not have been possible without Therese, whose professionalism is beyond reproach. She also contributed to our team’s visibility on social media and other technical aspects. Most of all, she never failed to make us look good on any occasion.
Anna contributed with literature research and lab work, the AdUpSense logo design and other technical aspects of our project, as well as our team’s visibility on social media.
Duc’s enthusiasm ranges from contagious to mildly annoying, but all agree that without him we would still be wondering what the graphs in the PStrace software meant. His knowledge of electrochemistry aside, he also contributed to literature research and lab work.
Spandana contributed mostly with literature research, lab work, and biosensor design and in making this whole endeavor much more fun.
