About Shyam Chaudhry

I have spent the last 3+ years as a Hardware Design Engineer within the R&D team at LifeLens. I am working on non-invasive wireless wearable physiological monitoring devices meant for proactive health management for patients. Previously, I spent 3 years as an RF Design Engineer within the New Product Introduction team at GE Healthcare. I was involved with development and release of AIR surface coils for MRI machines.I excited about the medical device, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries. I seek to leverage my knowledge acquired throughout industry and academia to be able to positively impact lives through device development. My technical skill set is diverse, featuring instrumentation, integrated mixed signal and analog circuit design, computational neuroscience, RF, signal processing, and embedded systems. I hope to be able to combine these detail-oriented technical skills with my broad perspective in commercialization, intellectual property, biodesign, economics, and project management to bring tomorrow’s products to fruition.I bring a “can do” attitude to my obligations, and I relish undertaking challenges and learning more about myself along the journey. I lead by example and try to be the change I want to see in the world. I try to inspire my teammates through a blend of determination and humor, and I am willing to put the team’s objectives ahead of my own personal goals. I maintain self-awareness and welcome feedback as a means of continually improving myself as a friend, student, family member, and employee. The ability to give back to the community through my career and through community service drives me.
