Student Advisory Board
Eva Samborski is a current first-year at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University with an intended major of Biomedical Engineering (with a pending potential double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering or physics). Her favorite impression of Duke is the vast multitude of academic opportunities from multifaceted people as well as the complex nature of gothic architecture. Eva is originally from Bavaria, Germany, although she was raised in a Russian-Polish household; which is why she seeks connections in every discipline, person, and experience she comes across, furthering her curiosity for the interdisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering.
Eva's background with the overseas Department of Defense Military Community and European heritage offered her a plethora of opportunities to witness diverse perspectives and create new perceptions from them. As a result, her unique experience with various leadership roles (Executive Board of her high school, Majority leader of the DoDEA Europe Model Senate Conference, School Advisory Committee, Assistant Ski Instructor, etc.) enabled her to collaborate with various communities and establish unprecedented connections. This also translates to her scientific curiosity as she explores her interest in research and related academic endeavors, as well as her current employment at Duke's Nanotechnology Laboratory (Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility) and executive membership in the Duke Quantum Information Society (DuQuis).
In addition to being on the Duke International Relations Associations Model UN Competitive Away Team, Eva enjoys volunteering within the Duke Catholic Center and hopes to further her community by immersing herself in the various facets of Duke's opportunities to make the most of her Duke experience. Her aspiration to be a Student Advisory Board Member stems from her desire for other students to have the ability to navigate the same resources that she is amazed with every day.
