Linda earned both her Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical Engineering and her Master’s of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Her undergraduate research thesis centered on the biomedical applications of triboelectric nanogenerators, and her M.S. thesis research was in the bioelectronics field. Linda has also worked as the Bio-Cleanroom Manager and Engineer for Georgia Tech’s Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology, managing the Bio-Cleanroom facilities and training students on 20+ research tools (SEM, SPR, DSC, etc). Additionally, she has worked as a healthcare software consultant, managing the accounts of more than 50 major hospitals, medical schools, clinics, and research centers in the U.S. and abroad.
