Jin is an MIT and Harvard-trained multi-disciplinary professional. She has degrees and work experience in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, design, and business. She is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in neuroscience. Prior to that, she was a lecturer in the electrical engineering department at MIT, where she taught master’s and Ph.D. students and holds a teaching certificate from the MIT Teaching and Learning Lab.Jin is passionate about using her multi-disciplinary background to serve marginalized populations, especially those in the disability space. Many of her recent works are a mixture between assistive technologies (AT) and neuroscience. Jin believes that while AT is necessary, it often serves as a band-aid rather than a solution. She started down the path of neuroscience in late 2016 in hope of understanding the root causes and potential solutions of some of the disabilities she has been trying to address. This led her to work at various research labs at MIT, Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital and eventually led her to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience. Jin also worked as a lecturer in the electrical engineering department at MIT. In addition, she has taught and coached over 3,000 global industry professionals, including senior executives at multi-billion dollar corporations leadership, product design, and business skills through professional one-on-one coaching, consulting, as well as executive courses. She has also spent years teaching entrepreneurship and coaching hundreds of global startup teams. In addition, she has also trained undergraduate mechanical engineering students in design and manufacturing at MIT.In her spare time, Jin enjoys learning new languages (15 and counting), building guitars and fixing cars, doing creative art projects, cheering (hopelessly) for the Minnesota Vikings, and dreaming of building her own 2-seater plane and getting her pilot license one day. Her proudest project to date is restoring a Cessna 150 that hasn’t flown in 15 years under the guidance of an A&P mechanic. The plane successfully obtained airworthiness on February 14, 2019 and took to the skies several days later, and has since been flown by dozens of student pilots at MIT.
Listed skills include C++, Management, Leadership, Project Management, and 21 others.
