Ashwin Kulkarni, BA

Outreach Director

Ashwin's interest in global health began as in the Balkans while studying the Yugoslavian War's effects on the public health systems of Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. He returned to the U.S. looking to contribute to domestic healthcare improvements. In the biomedical space, Ashwin developed and tested a digital blueprint for common surgeries at a medical startup named OR Link. Ashwin has dual-degrees in Journalism and Neuroscience from Northwestern University, where he founded the school's first Science and Technology section for a major publication: North by Northwestern Magazine. As a current student at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ashwin intends to continue contributing to projects that are improving patient outcomes and increasing health literacy at home and abroad.
