Summary
Shaan Chopra is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington with nine years of experience designing inclusive health technologies that help people interpret and act on personal health data. He blends rigorous user-centered and participatory research methods with practical prototyping and data visualization skills, having applied them across academia, industry (including Merck), and translational health initiatives. His work spans qualitative and quantitative research, ML-enabled sensing, and accessibility-focused design for sensitive healthcare contexts like Long COVID, developmental screening, and enigmatic chronic conditions. Shaan is comfortable taking projects end-to-end—from customer discovery and market strategy to technical implementation—and often surfaces non-obvious insights by combining EHR, survey, and self-tracking data. Based in Seattle, he is actively seeking full-time and internship roles at the intersection of health, pharma, and technology design.
