Marcio G. von Muhlen

 * My goal is to positively impact society by leveraging technology to create wealth (yes, it's pretty vague at the moment).


 * Current Activities: PhD candidate, MIT Biological Engineering Dept


 * Hometown(s): Porto Alegre, Brazil and Encinitas, California


 * I have a B.S. in Bioengineering with an emphasis in computational biology from UC Berkeley, awarded on 5/2005. While there, I worked under Prof. Daniel Fletcher for 2 years on a needle free drug delivery device.


 * I'm currently in the PhD program in MIT's Biological Engineering Department, working with Prof Scott Manalis. I am doing experimental work with a label free, microfluidic biomolecular detector. I am very interested in effective, efficient health care solutions from the molecular to the societal scale.


 * I am a brother and former chapter president and treasurer of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, California Chapter. I was the Resident Advisor for the Technology Chapter in 2006-2007.


 * I enjoy biking (including my 2 miles commuting every day from central square to 20 Ames st), soccer, skiing and swimming. I have a passion for contrarian, quantitative thinking. I recently started my home page.
