Robert Brik

Robert is a mechanical engineer hailing from Richmond, VA and is a founder of Brigham Innovation Hub’s Engineering Council. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and his MS of the same field from Carnegie Mellon University. Internships with medical device companies have fostered Robert’s interest in healthcare and he currently works with clinicians in the Longwood Medical Area to develop medical devices. His passion derives from helping to solve the technical challenges that clinicians face and in turn, being involved in positive outcomes for patients. He is most excited about the current innovations revolving around surgical robotics. Robert encourages fellow engineers to join Brigham iHub’s Engineering Council because they are provided the opportunity to collaborate with clinicians to develop devices and become an integral part of the Boston innovation ecosystem through networking and events that the iHub hosts.
