Stephanie Tebo's Biography Page 

Background

I was born in Milwaukee, WI, but I grew up in Lake Havasu City, AZ.  I graduated from Lake Havasu High School in May of 2002.  I have one older sister, and both of my parents teach grade school.

Research and Technical Work

I completed a summer internship at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico during the summer of 2004.  In addition, I have been doing computational fluid dynamics research under the direction of Dr. Earl Duque since my sophomore year in college.  As part of this work, I have helped network Linux and Unix systems, learned about computational fluid dynamics, and analyzed solutions of fluid flow over airfoils.

Career Goals

With the technical training I have received, I hope to help people in a meaningful way.  I know that sounds like a beauty pageant statement, but it is true.  I enjoy working with people and being able to help them.  As such, I want to use my mechanical engineering training to branch into biomedical engineering.  At this point, I plan on going back for my masters degree at some point after I graduate, and I will probably pursue a graduate degree in biomechanics or biomedical engineering.  In addition, I am interested in prosthetics, and I may pursue a career path towards becoming a prosthetist.  For the near future, I plan to enter the biomedical industry upon graduation from NAU.
