Jeremy Xhayet Gonzalez
Biomedical Engineering Research Intern
Jeremy Xhayet Gonzalez is a trilingual student researcher fluent in English, Spanish, and French, whose academic interests lie at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and human-centered care. Raised between Europe and the United States, he brings a global perspective shaped by cross-cultural experiences and exposure to diverse healthcare systems.
An IB Diploma candidate at Harrison High School (Class of 2026), Jeremy maintains a near-perfect academic record while pursuing advanced coursework in IB Biology HL, IB Physics HL, and Multivariable Calculus. He has distinguished himself as both a scholar and an athlete, earning All-Section honors in tennis, serving as a varsity captain, and competing at a high level in alpine ski racing and swimming.
Beyond the classroom, Jeremy has completed clinical and research internships in anesthesiology, orthopedic surgery, physical therapy, and hospital medicine, and conducted independent research developing an algorithm to personalize methadone dosing and reduce relapse risk. Committed to service, he volunteers in hospital settings and applies his technical skills to real-world healthcare challenges.
Jeremy is an RYT 500 certified yoga teacher, a designation awarded through Yoga Alliance that represents more than 500 hours of advanced training in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience informed movement, and evidence-based mind body practices. This rigorous education has strengthened his understanding of how the nervous system, musculoskeletal structure, and mental health are deeply connected. Looking ahead, Jeremy plans to study biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and molecular biology, with the goal of becoming a physician-engineer who designs accessible, evidence-based medical technologies grounded in both data and empathy. He views his RYT 500 training as an essential foundation for this path, allowing him to integrate human movement science, patient experience, and medical innovation to create solutions that improve recovery, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Xhayet Gonzalez has made notable contributions to the Broadening Our Horizons textbook series, along with analytical research exploring yogic benefits rooted in science-based methodologies (2026). In recognition of his scholarly impact and initiative, he was named Scientist of the Year by The Share Institute, Inc. dba ShareLove.Fund in 2026, an honor only awarded in years where there is a remarkably exceptional research intern and awarded for excellence in publishing and community leadership.
Recognized as a rising scholar, he credits his motivation and work ethic to a deep commitment to integrity, curiosity, and perseverance. He is especially dedicated to uplifting and representing Hispanic communities, striving to serve as a positive role model and to help expand access to educational and scientific opportunities for underrepresented students.
In response to the 2025 mass shooting at Brown University, Xhayet Gonzalez is determined to make higher education safer through applying the skills of his RYT 500 yogic mindfulness training from The Share Institute, Inc. through leadership advocacy rooted in scientific research and interdisciplinary solutions.
