A young Anguillian is now the island’s newest Biomedical Engineer. Miss Tsani Rogers of Shoal Bay graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, on 19 December 2021, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering after attending that institution for three and a half years, during the period 2018 – 2021.
Miss Rogers graduated from the Albena Lake -Hodge Comprehensive School in 2018 with an Associate’s degree in Natural Science. She was awarded best CAPE results by the Caribbean Examinations Council that year, and was subsequently named Anguilla Island Scholar, by the Government of Anguilla, for the CAPE 2018 graduating class.
During her university career, Miss Rogers was recognised, on two occasions, for her research in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The first occasion was in August 2021 when she was awarded an internship at Boston University, during the summer, where she assisted with the programming of medical equipment.
The second recognition was in respect of a research project in the Hai Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her study, at that time, entailed using Nitrogen Vacancy Magnetometry to validate microdevices and detect magnetic fields. Through this project, Miss Rogers received the Hilldale Fellowship Recognition which is awarded to undergraduates who are part of pragmatic study and who demonstrate promising research.
She plans to commence her Master’s degree in September 2022 – and to further her education in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Exposure in this area will afford her the opportunity to direct her knowledge, discoveries and research to aid in the development and production of equipment and processes geared at diagnosing and treating diseases.
Miss Rogers expresses her gratitude to her family and supporters – over the years – and would like to thank, in particular, the Government and People of Anguilla for their continued support.
