Headshot of Erika Weisdorfer

As a Quality Engineer for a medical device company, Erika’s work involves testing both the software and hardware aspects of patient hemodynamic monitoring systems used in critical care settings. As these devices help clinicians make proactive clinical decisions by aiding in the screening and treatment of critically ill patients, it is essential that all physiological calculations, graphs, and sensors are functioning properly.  Erika graduated in Fall 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics, which prepared her well for this challenging yet rewarding career. Currently, she is in her final year of graduate school where she is pursuing a Master of Science in Applied Biomedical Engineering through Johns Hopkins University with a concentration in Medical Instrumentation. In the future, Erika would like to transition to a leadership role where she can learn more about logistically managing medical device implementation as well as FDA regulations for medical devices. Outside of work, Erika is married to her high school sweetheart who helps run their two online businesses that support non-profit organizations in their community.

What is the impact you’d like to make on the world?

I sincerely believe that the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. My dream is to make a positive impact in healthcare by working on the research and development of cutting edge medical innovations that improve patient quality of life and daily living. After graduation, I would like to further my dream of helping others through the knowledge and understanding of biomedical engineering I have gained.
