Joao Ascensao

Hey there! My name is Joao, and I'm a rising junior at Rice University majoring in Bioengineering with a Global Health Technologies minor. I will be interning at St. Gabriel's Hospital in rural Namitete/Namitondo, Malawi for two months this summer to introduce and test some of the medical devices that have been developed here at Rice. I'm deeply interested in global health and poverty, and I hope to learn and help however I can while there! Feel free to contact me anytime at joao.ascensao@rice.edu.
