Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichie Woo is an R&D technician and UC Berkeley-trained bioengineer with 10 years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning molecular therapeutics, microfluidic ddPCR systems, reliability engineering for advanced nuclear reactors, and automation with Python and R. He has driven tangible lab and product improvements—from a 50% boost in droplet recovery at Bio-Rad to a 95% runtime reduction in FMEA checks at Kairos Power—while leading CAD-intensive aerospace projects that cut adhesive weight by 85% and standardized assembly parameterization. Richie blends hands-on experimental work (CRISPR synthetic lethality, CAR T–adjacent interests) with software-forward tooling, contributing to a cross-platform synthetic biology toolkit at Berkeley and building CI/CD and Slack-integrated automation in regulated environments. Comfortable moving between wet lab, instrumentation, and code, he prioritizes reliability and reproducibility in high-stakes systems. Based in Berkeley, he brings an uncommon fusion of biological insight, systems engineering rigor, and practical automation skill to accelerate translational research and product development.
