Empowering Innovations: John Estrada's Journey in STEM and the Impact of Virtual Reality | Episode 10

Welcome to SHPE Out Loud, the podcast that amplifies the voices of Hispanic leaders in STEM. In today's episode, we have the privilege of hearing from John Estrada, a computer engineering graduate from Purdue University, who immigrated from Ecuador to pursue his dreams. John shares how participating in SHPE design challenges enriched his engineering skills and shaped his career. Now, he utilizes technology to support surgeons through research and innovation. Stay tuned to learn about the latest trends in augmented and virtual reality, and the impactful use cases that benefit the most from this technology. But before we dive into John's fascinating journey, we take a moment to celebrate Mario Molina's impressive role in healing the ozone layer in our Trailblazers in STEM segment!
