Major Biomedical Engineering
Expected Graduation Date Spring 2020
Post-Graduate Plans I am going to continue my education as a Master's student at the University of Houston's Biology program. During this time, I will also continue to pursue academic research through brain-machine interfaces while focusing on gaining clinical experience as a premedical applicant.
Biosketch Christian Bernard Alarcon is a research assistant at the Laboratory for Non-invasive Brain-machine Interfaces at the University of Houston, where he received his bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering (2020). His main research interests include brain-machine interfaces and neuroaesthetics. His work has highlighted how the brain acts in commonplace settings (at-home) and has shown results that localized regions of the brain can have varying levels of activity during daily actions. As an aspiring physician, he would like to use his learned skills to personalize medicine as technology progresses further into machine learning.
