Stephen is a first-year medical student at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. A native of the Detroit area, Stephen was born with bilateral severe-profound sensorineural hearing loss and was subsequently fitted with hearing aids. Stephen was mainstreamed almost right away, at an early age. In 2007, Stephen graduated from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, with concentration in Chemical Engineering. After graduation, Stephen completed the rest of his medical school pre-requisites at the University of Pennsylvania and has been doing clinical research at the Department of Neurology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. More specifically, Stephen has been working with Dr. Licht in looking at changes in cerebral blood flow in newborns with congenital heart defects, hypothesizing that these changes are responsible for periventricular leukomalacia (white matter injury) that is often sustained in these newborns.
In prior research work, Stephen has done clinical research in the Emergency Department at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and computational research at the Center for Imaging Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. He hopes to continue pursuing his interests in clinical research through medical school and beyond. In his spare time, Stephen enjoys running, training for long distance races as well as reading and following sports.
