Hello! My name is Judah Jehle.
School, Major, Aspirations
I expect to graduate from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2027 with my bachelor's in bioengineering. Currently, I work as a research assistant at SMAST, where I do both field work and lab work to assess the health of coastal systems. Eventually, my goal is to pursue a PhD in bioengineering and spend my career conducting research on the applications of biomaterials to human and environmental health.

Projects/Accomplishments
I'm able read, write, and converse in ancient Latin. I mostly use it to enjoy classical literature, although you may catch me casting an occasional spell. I once designed and constructed a trebuchet that was capable of launching a basketball around 250 feet away.
Repair Experience
- Oil changes
- Tire replacements
- Headlight replacements
- Basic plumbing/drainage fixes
- I would like to learn how to fix electronic devices like phones, laptops, etc. I'd also like to learn more advanced auto repair, since that is something that is always needed and can save significant amounts of money

The Project
I'm hoping that through this project, I'll be able to get more experience tinkering with electronics. While I know my way around some tools, I haven't tried using them to dismantle more complex devices, which this process will hopefully teach me. I also look to learning how take better photos and edit them for clarity.
Indy
My pride and joy, Indiana Jones Jehle
This is my dog and favorite member of the family, known affectionately as Indy. He's almost 3 years old now. We rescued him from a shelter, so we don't know what breed he is, but he's definitely a mutt with some Australian Kelpie and Shepherd. He is slightly psychotic, but very protective and more than cute enough to compensate.
