Our Team
Bonnie's dual background in electrical engineering and bioengineering equips her with broad technical expertise in areas such as medical imaging and devices, image and signal processing, targeted viral delivery for gene editing, and software and hardware systems design, including artificial intelligence.
She has led and collaborated with interdisciplinary teams on multiple research projects, covering topics ranging from evaluating clinical cardiac MRI biomarkers in diabetic patients to applying computer vision techniques for motion tracking assessment in cardiac microscopy videos. Her scientific work has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, she has presented at prestigious international conferences, including the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC).
Bonnie holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley, where her dissertation focused on molecular imaging of viral vectors used for gene editing delivery via hydrogel encapsulation.
