Michael Shewarega

I'm a Master's student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. I'm passionate about software engineering, visual computing, and entrepreneurship.

I've studied and worked across Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States—building surgical navigation tools at Stryker, exploring software and AI at TU Delft, and researching brain networks and spatial biology at Harvard.

Outside of research, I enjoy (cooking my friends in) tennis and basketball, and playing piano whenever I get the chance.
