Hello, my name is Patrick Shi! I’m a current Biomedical Engineering master's student with a software background exploring the field of neural engineering that’s seeking a role requiring leveraging technical problem-solving skills to contribute to innovative healthcare solutions within the medical device industry.I graduated from the University of Michigan College of Engineering with a B.S.E. degree in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering. Aiming to further enrich my knowledge and apply my skills within the field of healthcare, I am now studying at Duke University under their Biomedical Engineering Masters Engineering program. I decided to specialize in software as well as biomedical engineering because I’m passionate about bridging these fields to advance neural engineering, particularly in prosthetics and neural-computer interfaces. I believe that neural engineering has great potential in opening the doors to innovative solutions to worldwide healthcare problems in the medical device industry.My background includes software development, systems/product design, machine learning, computer vision, and biomechanics, with hands-on experience in programming languages like C++, Python, and MATLAB. I applied these hard skills in various projects I have done throughout my courses, research, and student organization design teams. As an instructional aide (teaching assistant), I also developed great communication, organizational skills, and adaptive learning in order to formulate the best teaching methods for my students to learn coding and troubleshooting.Learning, problem-solving, and collaboration are at the core of what I do. I’m always eager to explore new ideas and work with others to create meaningful solutions at the intersection of technology and biology.
