Lisa Richards has a diverse work experience in the field of biomedical engineering. Lisa began their career as a Howard Hughes Summer Research Fellow at Duke University in 2005. Lisa then worked as a Brain Tumor Center Intern at Duke University Medical Center, where they gained experience in patient care and shadowed doctors in various disciplines.

After that, Lisa joined Duke University again as an Undergraduate Research Fellow, where they developed real-time software for breast cancer tumor margin assessment and conducted a clinical study. Lisa later became an Associate in Research, evaluating and optimizing diffuse reflectance spectroscopy instrumentation and managing software development.

Lisa then joined The University of Texas at Austin as a Graduate Research Assistant and worked on laser speckle contrast imaging for intraoperative monitoring of cerebral blood flow during neurosurgery. Lisa managed a multifunctional team and designed and integrated laser speckle instrumentation into a neurosurgical microscope.

Lisa'snext position was at Seno Medical, where they worked as a Biomedical Systems Engineer. Lisa authored a clinical protocol and led engineering efforts for a clinical study, performed verification testing of sub-systems, and supported the successful FDA premarket approval submission. Lisa also mentored junior staff in biomedical engineering and systems engineering principles.

Currently, Lisa is a Senior Biomedical Systems Engineer at Lumicell, where they are responsible for various tasks related to biomedical systems engineering.

Overall, Lisa has extensive experience in biomedical engineering, with a focus on imaging systems and clinical studies. Lisa has demonstrated expertise in system design, validation testing, data analysis, and regulatory compliance.

Lisa Richards earned their Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University in 2008. Lisa then attended The University of Texas at Austin, where they obtained their Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in Biomedical Engineering in 2012. Lisa went on to complete their Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin in 2015.
