ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Jennifer Villeneuve, a Biomedical Engineering graduate student with a background in Mechatronic Systems Engineering. My work bridges engineering design, biomechanics, and medical imaging to tackle real-world healthcare challenges.

Currently, I’m conducting research on carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis progression using four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT). My focus is on understanding joint kinematics, bone mineral density, and contact mechanics to understand the mechanical progression of the disease.

Alongside my research, I’ve gained hands-on experience in medical device design, motion capture, and experimental biomechanics, from developing assistive mobility devices to designing wearable motion-tracking systems. I enjoy bringing together engineering innovation and clinical impact, and I’m especially interested in advancing medical device development and translational research.

Outside of the lab, I’m passionate about fitness, running, and continuous learning, whether that’s exploring new engineering tools or keeping up with advances in medtech. I’m excited to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of biomedical innovation and improve patient outcomes!
