Top SchoolEmber Zhang is a patient-centered biological sciences post-baccalaureate and MCIT computer science student who blends 13 years of healthcare operations, clinical research, and product-building experience to create intelligent tools for mental health and wellness. She has led end-to-end clinical study operations and built web-based neuroscience experiments (React, JavaScript) while applying Bayesian and computational methods (Python, R, MATLAB) to psychiatric research at Mount Sinai. As founder of Human Hacker House, Ember translated her lived experience with chronic illness into a nonprofit health innovation community that drew advisors from NASA Ames and the Thiel Foundation and earned media coverage in Cosmopolitan and New Scientist. Her background spans startups, Fortune 500 healthcare clients, and technical leadership—ghostwriting an Amazon bestseller and running a digital media startup—bringing entrepreneurial rigor and elite-athlete discipline from national speedskating and Ironman competition to complex interdisciplinary problems.
