I'm a systems test and development engineer at Neatleaf Robotics, based in Scotts Valley, CA. Prior to working here, my doctoral research at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Sher Lab, was a project to understand the mechanisms underlying electrical stimulation of the retina, and we ultimately helped deliver a functional retinal prosthesis to market, with the Palanker Lab from Stanford. The sub-retinal photo-voltaic prosthesis was subjected to clinical trials with the help of Pixium Vision in France. I designed and conducted experiments with a multi-electrode recording array, and wrote stimulus and analysis software in Java and MATLAB, and processed and analyzed lots of raw data. I have experience with machine learning and neural networks.
