VentilatorSOS -- A Life Change Event For Me

VentilatorSOS had the celebration party tonight as a whole team. I was surprised to meet or hear about so many people that I did not know involved in the project, such as current Berkeley Engineering College Dean Professor Liu, the Ecuador Team (Monica Real and Dr. Gonzalo Mantilla who founded the first private medical school in Ecuador), , the Spanish Team (especially Dr. Ricardo), the lawyer team, and the market team. However, I also get a chance to see the people who I met  before during my part of the project: Professor Grace O'Connell, Brain Muldoon, Bryan Martel, Wayne Delker, Kris Dipaola, Ellinor Mills, Margrett Lewis, Dr. Ajay Dharia, Philp, and Dr. Glen from BEAR.  

This project really played a big role in a couple of choices that I had made later, and the project has indeed influenced me in many ways:

1. I started to think switching my career goal from a tech entrepreneur to a research university professor. It really showed me the power of academia. 
2. I started to seeing the beauty of the combination of biology and mechanical engineering
3. It was technically not my first research project, but because my research projects were all halted because COVID pandemic it is sort of my first research project, which I genuinely loved and am appreciated.
4. It was the first real world project that I was involved in. It was absolutely a fantastic experience that really showed some impacts of engineering.
