Summary
Evan Rijn is a Senior Systems Engineer and PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering based in Minneapolis with 11 years of engineering experience bridging medical devices, neural research, and mobile development. His doctoral work applies machine learning to create personalized, cognitively-informed approaches for psychiatric neuromodulation, translating neuroscience insights into clinically relevant algorithms. At Medtronic he brings systems-level engineering to neurotechnology, informed by hands-on research at Brown’s Neuromotion Lab and a long history building Android products. Comfortable moving between firmware, algorithms, and experimental design, he combines academic rigor with product-focused delivery. An uncommon strength is his dual fluency in neurobiology and software engineering, enabling him to prototype neuroadaptive systems that are both scientifically grounded and production-ready.
