Here at WVU, you can take an idea and turn it into a potentially world-changing reality.
Raphael Olumide Oladokun, a doctoral student in chemical and biomedical engineering at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, is proof of that.
Oladokun’s goal is to develop a device to detect early-stage breast cancer in women.
“As a first-generation student, I always wanted to take good advantage of all the opportunities around me,” he said.
“From being a student to becoming a professional engineer, it’s something that has really reshaped me and also gave me a pipeline I could follow in order to achieve my dream.”
