Richard Su

Richard graduated with an undergraduate Biomedical Engineering degree from Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas. His degree’s technical area was the cellular and bio-molecular engineering along with Pre-Med coursework and with a Business Foundation certification from UT. He has helped in various lab and medical settings through high school and college through volunteer work and internship.

He is currently a Biomedical Engineer at Fairway Medical Technologies. He works on the research and development of a commercial optoacoustic imaging system for detection of blood vasculature, mice, and cancer. Responsibilities include optoacoustic testing and simulations, phantom design, optical measurements, developing and executing experimental protocols, software testing and modification, signal processing, and image analysis. Experience in MATLAB, Labview, and VolView.
