Alex M. Wang

Alex's flexible background includes developing medical device and electronics. As an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University, Alex was involved in several design projects, including creating a piezoelectric-based electronic stethoscope, a microfabricated miniature flow cytometer, and a cleaning robot. During his coursework, he also studied imaging systems, computational modeling of bioelectrical systems, and mechanics of robotic systems.

Alex gained research and industry experience working at various medical technology companies and labs. As a research specialist at the Machine Biointerface Lab at Johns Hopkins University, Alex explored safe direct current stimulation-based neuromodulation for applications in neuroelectric prostheses and pain blocking. He led a research effort to examine changes in brain signals in rat models via single-unit recording experiments. While working as a research assistant at Baylor College of Medicine, Alex developed a 3D-printable model for specialized tumor containment. He was also employed at a biotech company, assisting with the designing and testing of a novel drug delivery device and companion mobile application.
