Summary
Samantha Sun is a Senior Data Scientist and bioengineering PhD who brings nine years of hands-on experience turning time-series biosignals into actionable machine learning tools for clinical and research settings. She has led end-to-end projects at the University of Washington decoding neural electrophysiology and quantifying neuromodulation responses, and transitioned those skills into industry roles including a recent senior position at Natus Neuro. Samantha excels at bridging research and clinical teams, mentoring students, and building reproducible analysis pipelines that synchronize heterogeneous data streams. Outside of the lab she founded a ceramics business and collaborates on public science outreach—most recently helping the Pacific Science Center launch the "Brainy Bodies" exhibit—reflecting a talent for making complex science accessible. Notably, her background spans both device-level signal processing and cloud-enabled dashboarding (AWS SageMaker, Athena), enabling her to move algorithms from experiment to clinical-facing tools.
