In motion.

Fundamental Physics would teach us that objects put into motion stay in motion and objects in rest stay at rest. I guess this rule holds true for ambition too. I set myself on pre-calculated course, direct all my best efforts into that course and come out with finishing with positive results. Keep that momentum up and keep the motion going. It's cyclical and that rule has applied to my life's direction in regards to academics and career targets.

As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I'm in transition of a new career. I've laid it out, I've told the people who matter to me what my plans are, and everyone seems to be on board with the idea. So, I'm going for it and I'm not turning back. It was hard for me to come to grips with the idea, the many things I would need to sacrifice, and calculating the risks and overall benefits should I succeed. I've convinced myself that it's an upgrade necessary not just for myself but more so for the people whom I care about.

If you haven't clued in by now it's the area of Biorobotics that I am looking at.


The field is defined as the intersection of biomedicine and electromechanical engineering. I want to be a biorobotics engineer. I want to design, build, and engineer things that help improve the overall quality of life for people. More specifically, disabled people. Those who've lost their limbs due to disease, accidents, or purposeful, aggressive causes. Them. I want to help them. I want to repair them and restore them to their normal functions. Help them live normal, healthy lives again through advanced prosthetics and orthotics technologies.

I've cut out all the distractions. I've set my eyes on the target. I've set my mind to it. And my will power, all of my best efforts are put back into motion. This. is. it.

My Future Career.

In this essay, I would like to describe my thought process leading to my future career choice. I want to be a biorobotics engineer. The decision to choose biorobotics as a career was not made overnight, but months of contemplating on key points, ultimately helping me conclude that this is the profession I want to dedicate my life to. These points include my interests in robotics and biology as I developed into a young adult, the definition of biorobotics and key area that attracted me to the field, and the unlimited opportunity in what I hope to achieve in a career as a biorobotics engineer. First, growing up, I was fascinated by robots. My father, an electrical engineer, bought me toys such Transformers, and immersed me in books about robots such as the Maxx Steele series; my affection for robots continued as a teenager with mecha-based Japanese anime, such as the series Evangelion . From elementary to highschool, I was also very interested in biology, I loved the study of ba...

Fat Burger.

I ordered the original fat burger and sat down. As I munched on fat burger goodness, across the street I observed an abundance of residential and commercial growth along the Brentwood / Lougheed Highway corridor. Something big is happening and it's happening right here in this very area. I then started thinking about Intel. I remember watching this documentary on the birth of Intel (the chip r&d / manufacturing firm); the film traced the history of its core founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Moore, as the common nerd would know, is credited for theorizing Moore's Law; a law that states the number of transistors on a microprocessor doubles about every two years (although evolution of the microprocessor is now reaching its apex). And Noyce, is often credited for inventing the integrated circuit (along with Jack Kilby). Their firm, prior to Intel was Fairchild Semiconductors, a company believed to have jump-started the growth of Silicon Valley. Anyway, before I go off ...

Engineers.

I'm fascinated by engineers. Growing up I've always been surrounded by them. My dad, an electrical engineer, my brother a budding power engineer, and my uncles - ranging from civil to mechanical engineers. I'll admit, I've never had an interest in a career as an engineer (its only now that I've found merit in the discipline), but I've always loved technology. I just never pictured myself developing it. That's now changed. I'm loving science, and I'm loving the idea of being able to create something useful out of nothing, based on the laws of the universe and current tools and community accepted, applied scientific theories. Engineering blood flows through my veins, I've just never fully tapped into my abilities. Granted, problem solving comes easy to me. For years I've applied that gift to the Arts, I think its time I gave Applied Science a bit of love too. I suppose my transformation has largely to do with helping people. As I've g...
