Hello, I'm Phil 👋

I'm passionate about neurotechnology, medical devices, machine learning, and music.

I'm currently building technology to support and extend life at Science.

I was previously a researcher in UC Berkeley's Sensorimotor Neural Engineering Lab, where I helped build a hand kinematics-tracking wearable for continuous monitoring in stroke rehabilitation, driving electronics and form factor design in our easy-to-apply wireless device.

Previously, I've researched Transcranial Magnetic Brain Stimulation at UC Berkeley and Deep Learning for 3D Multi-class Cancer Tumor Segmentation on MRIs at UCSF. I also ran Neurotech@Berkeley 🧠, an organization of 100+ students actively building in BCI-related devices, software, and wetware. Check out LinkedIn and Projects for more of my work.

Along my musical journey, I've befriended the piano, bassoon, and chromatic harmonica, and flirted with a few others. I've had the pleasure to perform in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US, and Central Europe, including the Musikverein.

I hail from the Greater Bay Area to the Bay Area. I do not (yet) own Philz Coffee but would thank you for your business should you visit; for reasons not so obvious, I'm fond of their Philtered Soul and Philharmonic drinks.

Happy to grab a coffee or chat. Please send me an message at phil.xie [at] berkeley [dot] edu or on LinkedIn!
