Summary
Andrew Scallon is a neuro engineering professional with nine years of experience translating neuroscience questions into engineered solutions across academia and industry. Based in Boulder, he has led the Optogenetics and Neural Engineering Core at the University of Colorado, delivering open-source optics, ultra-high-density recording systems, embedded designs, and machine-learning video analysis for real-time experiments. His background spans medical device development and quality systems—driving an NIH-funded, provisional-patent medical device program and streamlining manufacturing processes at Covidien that saved ~ $500K annually. Comfortable from CAD and circuit design to Python and embedded C, he bridges hands-on fabrication with IRB-certified human and animal studies to accelerate translational research. Colleagues rely on him for cross-disciplinary collaboration, lab “maker space” development, and lowering technical barriers so researchers can deploy cutting-edge neural methods.
