Charles Feng’s Summary

I am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I will receive a BS in bioengineering in May 2008, and a MS in the same field in May 2009. After graduation, I plan to pursue an MD/PhD combined degree and subsequently a career in biotechnology research or development.

I have over eight years of computer programming experience, and I am proficient in C++, Java, MATLAB, PHP and MySQL. I also own a web design studio specializing in clean, elegant web layouts; my portfolio can be accessed at http://www.fenguin.net.

Charles Feng’s Experience

  • Research Assistant

    Massachusetts General Hospital

    (Non-Profit; 10,001 or more employees; Hospital & Health Care industry)

    June 2008Present (4 months)

    Working for Prof. Gary Tearney under the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology Summer Institute in Biomedical Optics.

  • Mathematics Teacher

    Sabio Academy

    (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; E-Learning industry)

    December 2006Present (1 year 10 months)

    I teach classes in high school competition mathematics, especially AMC, AIME, and USAMO. I train students ranging from no mathematics experience to within the top 5% nationwide, with the ultimate goal of reaching the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (top <1% nationally).

  • Research Assistant

    Chemical Imaging and Structures Laboratory

    (Educational Institution; 11-50 employees; Biotechnology industry)

    January 2006Present (2 years 9 months)

    I am conducting research in Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy under Rohit Bhargava. I currently have two ongoing projects; I am investigating the automated diagnosis of skin neoplasia using a Bayesian classification algorithm, and I am designing (with a teammate) a fiber optic probe that will enable in vivo infrared spectra acquisition.

    During the summer of 2006, I was given a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Research Fellowship to continue my infrared spectroscopy research.

  • Bioengineering Student

    University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

    (Educational Institution; 10,001 or more employees; Higher Education industry)

    August 2005Present (3 years 2 months)

    I will obtain my BS in bioengineering in May 2008, followed by a MS in the same field in May 2009. My research interests include infrared spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, among other biomedical imaging modalities.

  • Research Assistant

    Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology

    (Educational Institution; 501-1000 employees; Biotechnology industry)

    June 2007August 2007 (3 months)

    As part of the HST Summer Institute in Biomedical Optics, I conducted research in optical coherence tomography (OCT) under Johannes F. de Boer and B. Hyle Park. My project involved finding a way to reduce coherent speckle through wavefront modulation.
