About Nathanael Patton
I\'m Nathanael Patton, a biomedical engineer with a strong foundation in pharmacoengineering and a growing specialization in computer science. I bring hands-on experience in both academic research and industry settings, with a passion for combining engineering principles and computational tools to solve real-world problems.During my undergraduate studies at NC State and UNC Chapel Hill, I contributed to cutting-edge pharmacokinetic modeling research using MATLAB and SimBiology, helping simulate drug movement in vivo and explore the potential of click chemistry. I also led student teams as a teaching assistant in BME design labs, fostering early engineering skills in CAD, microcontroller systems, and cell culture under FDA regulatory frameworks.My industry experience includes a mechanical testing internship at CommScope, where I played a key role in identifying and mitigating a major quality control issue in a global product line. I’ve also earned certifications in AI, Linux, and Lean Six Sigma methodologies, and I’m currently advancing my software expertise through a Master’s in Computer Science at Western Governors University.I thrive at the intersection of life sciences and technology, and I’m always eager to collaborate on innovative solutions that improve healthcare, streamline engineering workflows, or push the boundaries of what’s possible with data and design. Let’s connect!
