Summary
Ian Ong is an M.D. candidate at the Perelman School of Medicine and a research assistant at the Penn Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics with nine years of professional experience bridging bioengineering and clinical neuroscience. He focuses on drug-resistant epilepsy, intracranial EEG, and network neuroscience, collaborating directly with physicians to translate computational insights into improved surgical planning. Trained summa cum laude in bioengineering (BSE) at UPenn, he combines rigorous engineering methods with clinical research to tackle complex neural signal analysis and patient-centered outcomes. His background tutoring and writing demonstrates clear communication skills for both technical and lay audiences, and his experience designing layouts hints at a knack for presenting complex data accessibly. Based in Easttown Township, PA, he brings a multidisciplinary perspective—engineer, clinician-in-training, and science communicator—that accelerates translational neuroengineering projects.
