Vitor Rebelato

As a Senior Biomedical Engineering student at the University of South Florida, I am passionate about leveraging engineering principles to enhance the quality of life for patients. My current focus involves designing innovative medical devices, such as a chest pressure sensor in collaboration with Axogen, aimed at quantifying sensory loss in post-mastectomy breast cancer patients. By applying the Stanford Biodesign Process, I ensure need-driven solutions that align with regulatory standards and patient care priorities.

Throughout my academic journey, I have undertaken diverse projects that reflect my commitment to advancing medical technology. These include creating a functional artificial heart in SolidWorks that integrates biocompatible materials to replicate natural cardiac functions, and simulating blood flow dynamics in carotid artery blockages to optimize stent design and engineering a portable muscle fatigue detector that processes and displays real-time electromyography (EMG) signals, showcasing my ability to combine electronics and biomedical engineering principles.

My professional experience further reinforces my skills in research, development, and collaboration. During my internship at EMS, I contributed to the development of pharmaceutical products by ensuring bioequivalence through HPLC analysis, classifying pharmaceutical excipients, and enhancing operational efficiency through training programs for over 40 researchers. At the Auditory Development and Connectomics Laboratory at USF, I assisted in creating anatomical maps of the mouse cochlear nucleus, optimizing processes for brain cell studies, and supporting a team of 15 researchers. As a co-founder of the Innovation in Engineering Society, I fostered collaboration and empowered engineers by leading impactful projects and growing the organization to 86 members in its first year.

I am proficient in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SIM Flow, Bioelectronics, and Electromyography (EMG), with a strong foundation in medical device design and regulatory compliance. Fluent in both English and Portuguese, I am committed to continuous learning and contributing to advancements in biomedical engineering.

I am eager to connect with professionals in the industry and explore opportunities that align with my skills and passion for medical innovation.
