Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSibo Gao is a research scientist and neuroengineering PhD from Rice University with a decade of experience bridging software engineering and experimental neuroscience. Currently at UTHealth Houston, he focuses on neural imaging analysis, brain–computer interface development, and in vivo behavioral experiments, translating complex neural data into actionable systems. His background includes a PhD researcher role in Rice's ECE department and a software internship at IBM, reflecting fluid movement between academic R&D and production-quality software. Sibo combines strong data-processing and signal-analysis skills with hands-on device and experiment development, making him effective at end-to-end BCI projects. Based in Houston, he is motivated to continue in R&D or software roles that integrate neurotechnology and scalable data solutions. An often-overlooked strength is his cross-disciplinary training—from applied science at UBC to PhD-level neuroengineering—that enables both rigorous experimentation and practical engineering delivery.
