Personal
Salman is from Mogadishu, Somalia, and moved to Arlington, Texas where he attended the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and received an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering. During the summer of sophomore year, he participated in NSF REU program at the University of Delaware studying comparative tribology across species. At UTA, Salman worked Drug delivery and nanomedicine lab where he studied complementary and alternative medicine for wound healing. He likes playing soccer, hiking, and taking photos of nature in his free time.
