Electrical Engineering, Texas A&M University

Rachel Kurian is from Sugar Land, Texas, and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. As an undergraduate, she worked in the Optical Biosensing Laboratory at Texas A&M, developing wearable technology with a focus on bioimpedance systems. She also published entomology research with her Aggie Research Scholars team, investigating the effects of interplant communication on multi-level plant resistance to herbivory.

Kurian participated in the Discover, Explore and Enjoy Physics and Engineering (DEEP) program at Texas A&M, where she built physics models and experiments to present at the DEEP Festival for students across Texas. Additionally, she collaborated with EnMed students Abhinaya Muruganandham and Fouzul Kansul to create a concept for a novel medication dispensation device, presenting it at several pitch competitions, including Texas A&M’s Ideas Challenge, Aggie Pitch, and Demo Day, where the team earned funding and valuable feedback.

At EnMed, Kurian looks forward to integrating engineering and medicine from the start of her medical education. She’s drawn to the program’s emphasis on viewing healthcare challenges through an engineer’s lens, turning everyday problems into opportunities to improve the experiences of healthcare workers and patients.

In her free time, Kurian enjoys running, reading, hiking, sleeping, traveling, and being outside.
