Background
Caitlin holds a distinction in an MEng Biomedical Engineering degree from the University of Strathclyde. During her degree she was involved in various clinically focused research projects. Her Bachelors dissertation included analysing gait symmetry recovery in chronic stroke survivors following an 8-week gamified locomotor rehabilitation program. During this role, she supported physiotherapy sessions and built important patient relationships. Her masters project, conducted in collaboration with a clinician from the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Glasgow, investigated the impact of aortic cannula placement during Cardiopulmonary bypass on blood flow. This was investigated using a unique computational model.
While at university, Caitlin was selected through a competitive entrepreneurial programme to intern at Optos, a retinal medical device manufacturer. In this position she worked within manufacturing, testing an authentic tool design responsible for evaluating the internal condition of the machines.
