Will Wang

PhD Student, Biomedical Engineering

My research attempts to address the issue of inaccessible healthcare technology through building and verifying the usefulness of wearable electronics/devices. I have experience in building and evaluating wearable technology devices for healthcare and aim to further explore this field. My current research focus is to discover methods of retrieving valuable information and knowledge from wearable data.

I love working out and swimming, especially in natural environment. I love singing and am a counter-tenor.
