Yu Yahagi is a Chief Scientist and disciplined software and optoelectronic engineer with 11 years of experience leading end-to-end medical device development from HW/SW architecture to V&V in compliance with IEC 62304. Based in California, he architects real-time multimodal image acquisition systems and designs optical hardware and FPGA/firmware solutions for marketed ophthalmic imaging devices, combining C++, C#, LabVIEW, Python and MATLAB expertise. He also develops automated signal and image-processing algorithms for feature detection and aberration correction and tackles low-level device debugging including USB data streams and microcontroller firmware. Yu’s work blends hands-on prototyping of fiber and free-space optical setups with product-focused concerns like thermal tolerance, manufacturing cost, and clinical UI/workflow integration. His background includes a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and prior research building time-resolved magneto-optic microscopy, reflecting a rare mix of deep optics research and practical medical-device engineering.
