Mechatronics Engineer specializing in Robotics, Automation, Embedded Systems, Medical Devices, and ECMO

Profile Summary

PhD in Biomedical Engineering (University of Michigan) and MS in Electrical/Mechatronics (Carnegie Mellon), with 10+ years of experience in robotics, automation, embedded systems, and extracorporeal life support (ECMO/ECCO2R). I have worked on Industrial Robots, Nuclear Inspection Robots, Underground Exploration Robots, and Research Satellites, and various ECMO and ECCO2R systems, and am open to work as a consultant on these projects. I am also experienced at academic writing and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate-level students. My website and CV are at andrewzhang.ca I have been freelancing for many years and am proud of my reliability. That being said, I have only recently joined Kolabtree, so I'm using a reduced hourly fee until I build client relationships here. I'm primarily looking for consulting and technical writing roles. I'm physically in Mexico, so be aware that we'll be shipping things internationally if it's a hardware project.
