About Me

Bioengineering & Biochemistry

Gavin Flood

Gavin Flood

I'm a Northeastern University student pursuing a combined major in Bioengineering and Biochemistry on a pre-med track. I'm fascinated by how engineering design and molecular science can work together to improve patient care and medical technology.

Over the past two summers I gained professional experience in Research & Development Engineering at Koru Medical Systems, contributing to medical device design and testing. On campus I have applied engineering principles through the university's Cornerstone of Engineering design projects, where I worked in teams to define real-world engineering problems, design mechanical and electronic prototypes, and present validated solutions. These cornerstone projects strengthened my skills in CAD modeling, rapid prototyping, and data-driven experimentation while emphasizing teamwork and clear communication.

Beyond academics, I pursue photography, especially urban and street scenes in Boston and New York. Capturing light and motion helps me see design and detail from new perspectives.
