Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Yin is an electrical design engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building biosensing and medical-device hardware, from waterproof wearable cardiac sensors to fiber photometry systems sold to neuroscientists. Grounded in electrical engineering and bioengineering, he iterates circuit and PCB designs for manufacturability and reliability while writing embedded firmware (Arduino) and prototype software for real-time sensing. He has applied machine learning to microscopy—fine-tuning convolutional nets for sand/plankton classification and working toward on-board inference—and is exploring ML-driven biosensing for diagnostics. A proven leader and grant-winner, he led interdisciplinary teams to develop low-cost diagnostics (3D-printed centrifuges, $200 PCR, paper-based assays) and secured over $20,000 in funding. Fast-learning, an autodidact and clear communicator, he couples academic research contributions with pragmatic product development in California.
