About Me
My name is Li Cai Haney. I was adopted when I was one years old from China and have lived in northern Kentucky ever since then. I have always had a fondness for animals. My family adopted our first dog when I was six years old, and the number has grown ever since. To date, I have had five dogs, three hedgehogs, three cats, and a chinchilla, and I have a list of pets I want to adopt in the future that keeps growing.
One of my greatest strengths is my desire to learn more about a wide variety of topics. I am the type of person who will research any topic that catches my interest, and as I am learning, I will find a new topic that also catches my interest. By the time I am finished, the topic I end up on has very little to do with what I started to research. My research habits stem from how I enjoy seeing how ideas and information are connected and how those connections can be applied to a bigger picture. I think that my love of animals played a major part in why biology was one of my favorite subjects in high school. I wanted to combine my interest in biology and applying knowledge from a wide variety of topics which is why I decided to major in biomedical engineering at UC. I will be a fifth year in the fall of 2021 and I have started the ACCEND program (Masters + Bachelors) program. I will be finishing my fifth and final co-op rotation summer 2021 at AtriCure in the AtriClip Product Development department. Before this year, I have done three co-ops at Cincinnati Children's in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department. It has been exciting to see how what we have learned as part of the BME curriculum can be applied in research and now industry. |
