About me
Shreyaa Sanjay is a researcher looking to make a positive impact in the field of public health through wearable medical devices. At Stony Brook University, she delved into tissue engineered devices, conducting research designing a proof-of-concept model for bioprinted vasculature and testing the efficacy of skin grafts using DISC (Digital Image Speckle Correlation). She has presented at the American Geosciences Union, and the GLOBE Earth International Virtual Science Symposium on her climate health work with NASA, analyzing air quality through satellite and remote sensing data in marginalized coastal and inland areas. She has published her research in various open-access journals including the IOMC International Journal of Climatology. Shreyaa is passionate about increasing community awareness for public health through outreach. As a Community Liaison for Columbia ACComPLISHED and a Johns Hopkins Global Health Leaders Conference Student, she is able to spread public health to her local community through student-led webinars, engaging deep-dives and hands-on activities.
She believes a large part of public health awareness originates from equitable STEM education. As an Outreach lead for her FRC Robotics team, she has impacted millions of students worldwide through the team’s international initiatives and digital resources that have reached . She is currently involved in an initiative with Space for Teachers to send science proposals written from students and teachers to be conducted at the International Space Station. Through her work with Khanjur R&D, a female-led materials engineering startup, she was able to create lab activities for 300 students aged K-4 and presented Shape Memory Alloys to FTC Robotics teams at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. She hopes to continue working to make public health accessible to more communities worldwide through both outreach and engineering.
