My name is Ruth Yu, and I was born and raised in Vancouver. I recently graduated from UBC Biomedical Engineering and will be starting my master’s degree at UBC focusing on developing a microfluidic-assisted method for analyzing the spatial genomics of rare cancer cell populations. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, running, and playing badminton. Having been on the 2021/22 team, I am excited to return and support partnership efforts for CUBEC 2025/26.
Jessica is currently a 4th year Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Calgary completing a 16-month internship as a Development Engineering Intern. She was previously the Co-President of the Biomedical Engineering Students’ Society at the University of Calgary in the 2023-2024 academic year. During her term, she was involved in the first CUBEC conference to be hosted in Calgary which helped initiate the future collaboration in Calgary between biomedical engineering groups across Canada. Her passion for biomedical engineering has been further nurtured through her involvement on the CUBEC executive team.
Emma is a fourth-year bioengineering student at McGill University, currently working in a research lab developing an incubator to support vascular flow models in microgravity. She is passionate about space and women’s health, with a focus on innovative solutions that promote accessible healthcare. In 2024, she joined CUBEC as the VP Logistics, leading the planning for the 2025 conference. Now as the Operations Director, she remains driven to create inclusive opportunities for students to connect, collaborate, and grow within the biomedical engineering field.
Adi graduated from Bioengineering at McGill, before continuing his Master’s at McGill studying the evolution of drusen in the eye. He has been the Financial Director of CUBEC for the past two years, where he significantly expanded the organization’s financial capacity and reach. He joined the CUBEC Board of Directors in 2025 to support meaningful changes across the biomedical engineering landscape in Canada, with a focus on sustainable growth, national collaboration, and student empowerment.
Sara is currently completing her internship term at Circle Cardiovascular Imaging as a 4th year Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Calgary. She is passionate about innovations to improve healthcare and sharing the contributions of biomedical engineering.

First online conference gathered 300 + participants.
CUBEC hosted second online conference, gathering over 200 attendees and put on a national networking event.
CUBEC hosted another virtual networking event and underwent some restructuring to better support students across Canada.
CUBEC incorporated as a national not-for profit organization to establish brand, partnerships and a constant mission. We hosted the first in-person CUBEC in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary! With support from companies like Medtronic, we were able to welcome over 400 students from 12+ universities across Canada.
CUBEC expanded its mission by launching an editorial branch, a podcast, and supporting students through outreach initiatives such as workshops in high-schools and CEGEPs, the first annual Canadian Biomedical Engineering Leadership Summit (CBME LS) and smaller scale events.
CUBEC hosted the second in-person conference, bringing together 700 attendees in 4 cities, including an expansion to Vancouver. We hosted smaller scale events at McMaster, Waterloo and McGill.
CUBEC is committed to raising awareness about the opportunities, challenges, and advancements in biomedical engineering. Through conferences, workshops, and outreach programs, we bring attention to the transformative potential of BME and inspire students across Canada to explore this innovative field.
We believe in empowering students with knowledge and resources to succeed in biomedical engineering. From hands-on workshops to expert-led panels, our programs provide valuable learning experiences that bridge the gap between academia, industry, and research.
CUBEC fosters an inclusive community where every student, regardless of background or institution, has the opportunity to thrive. By connecting students nationwide and encouraging diverse voices, we create a collaborative space for innovation and growth in BME.
