Constanza is a multidisciplinary academic interested in the intersection between the creativity of design, the ethics of cultural anthropology, and the tech aspects of engineering. She holds a Ph.D. in Design with a focus on anthropology, and serves as the Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Mentoring at Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering and an Associate Teaching Professor in Biomedical Engineering. She was a founding member of the startup Simulmedic. Constanza holds a PhD in Design with a focus in anthropology from NC State University. While a Fulbright grantee, she worked as a visiting researcher at the CDR (Mech. Engineering) at Stanford. As an entrepreneur, a team player, and a researcher, her focus is on biomedical devices, mentoring, engineering education, and pre-engineering education. Past experiences involve work in industry such as Cooper San Francisco, Karl Storz Endoskope and Continuum Milan. Today, she constantly interacts with industry and medical institutions linking students to the conversations of the current practice. Her interest in creating tools for a hands-on education is embodied in the Anthro Design Crash Course book and the SaviaLab pre-engineering design program for rural schools in Chile, and most recently in the undergraduate mentoring program for WSE.
