About Me
Bergen was born and raised in Bountiful, Utah. During high school, she developed a keen interest in the intersection of engineering and medicine, which led her to pursue an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah. In the spring of 2021, she joined the Anderson Lab. As an undergraduate researcher, she focused on image processing and, for her senior thesis, developed a statistical shape model to better understand sex differences in the human pelvic bone. Fascinated by the research around her, she chose to continue her education as a PhD student in the Anderson lab after graduating with her BS in Biomedical Engineering in 2023. As a PhD student she is utilizing medical imaging and computational modeling to enhance our understanding of hip deformities.
Outside of the lab, she spends her free time camping, hiking, and skiing.
