Eleonora Chakraborty received a B.S. in biomedical engineering from Purdue University. Her involvement in the Society of Women Engineers started within the Purdue SWE collegiate section, one of the largest collegiate sections in the country. She planned several outreach events for K-12 students and professional development events for fellow SWE collegiate members.
Since graduating, Eleonora has been involved in leadership within the SWE Chicago Regional Section. She was the SWE-CRS Vice President of Outreach for FY21 and FY22 and last year’s President. She believes that the fascination of engineering should be accessible to every student—engineers, specifically women engineers, have contributed to countless innovations that make the world work and outreach is important to show students what is and what could be.
Eleonora works as an Associate Director, Global Regulatory Affairs at a medical device manufacturer, located in Chicago, IL. She has 10 years of combined R&D and global regulatory strategy experience at start-up, mid-size, and large-sized companies for a variety of medical devices, including implants, critical care catheters, software, hardware, sutures, and IVDs. She specialized in global strategy, registrations, and leading interactions with regulatory authorities. Outside her role at work and SWE, she loves to host get-togethers with family and friends, make flower arrangements, and sail in Lake Michigan. Eleonora is looking forward to continuing to advocate and mentor women in engineering as the SWE CRS FY24 President.
