Meet Cuyler, a Biomedical Mechanical Engineering student from
@uottawa!
His scholarship placed him in Heidelberg, Germany, which led him to join the Intelligente Systeme und Robotik in der Urologie group at the German Cancer Research Center, with a focus on programming machine learning tools for urologic surgeries. Outside of work, he enjoys travelling around the world, playing sports and video games.
“My personal highlight was my weekend travels across Germany and Europe. I went to France, Switzerland, Munich, Spain, and Greece during my time, my favourites being Switzerland and Greece. I visited the Swiss town of Interlaken, where I hiked the Swiss Alps from a small village called Lauterbrunnen. Through our journey, we saw green pastures, large snow-capped mountains, and pastures of brown cows roaming the path. We topped it off by paragliding across the beautiful town of Interlaken, where we saw the town surrounded by the Alps and the twin turquoise lakes of Thun and Brienz.
Living in Ottawa all my life, I definitely felt pushed out of my comfort zone moving to a new country. It was a challenge to adapt to a new lifestyle and culture, but those are the moments I look most fondly on, and it’s thanks to the support of the amazing people I met in my work, in my town, and through my travels across Europe!”
Stay tuned to our stories, where you can get answers from Cuyler about the program and what life is like in Germany! 🇩🇪
