  • Jun 2023 - Present

  I have the privilege of collaborating with a remarkable and extensive assembly of scientists and engineers. We are dedicated to addressing the captivating endeavour of revolutionizing the way the world interacts with sensing. I've led and contributed to technology transfers from our research group to the product team, and I look forward to seeing my work in commercially available human-machine interfaces in the future!I act as a full-stack lead engineer responsible for pushing technical direction and reviewing proposals and outcomes for a 5+ person team focused on research efforts to revolutionize wearable devices. This work includes prototyping and evaluating a diverse range of sensing methods and, most importantly, establishing data-driven approaches to research prioritization and progress evaluation within the intricate landscape of human-machine interfaces.This role requires regular technical deep dives into fundamental anatomy and physiology, detailed analogue system design, experimental design, exploratory data analysis, and signal processing and algorithms for deducing human intent.Some highlights:• helped grow an engineering team from N=1 to N=5+• mentored 5+ engineers, technicians, and student interns• onboarded and advised leadership for growing technical teams• established meticulous process for proposing and evaluating game-changing methods• assisted set a long-term vision and research direction for a portfolio of wearable devices• filed multiple patents in human-machine interfaces for innovative technological advancements Show less

  As a deep-tech startup, Neuranics aims to address disruptive neurotechnology in human-machine interfacing for healthcare, gaming and metaverse applications through a prototype of a wearable device based on highly sensitive spintronic sensors.Starting from such a vague R&D phase of principle study, we will verify the technology with the customer through research on the necessary measurement technology and the prototype of the necessary sensor, and then proceed to the next business phase and create a new business. We provide magnetic sensors that match the needs of our customers by balancing the two conflicting requirements of sensitivity and dynamic range at a high level. We also provide solutions that include peripheral circuits that bring out the performance of magnetic sensors. We will prepare thin-film manufacturing equipment, microfabrication equipment, and assembly/mounting equipment for mass production, develop together with customers, and plan to deliver customised magnetic sensors as mass-produced products.
