Claire Zurn has a diverse work experience in various research and engineering roles. In 2017 and 2018, they worked as a Process Development Engineer Intern at Boston Scientific, where they were involved in test methodology, documentation, and problem-solving for manufacturing processes. From 2016 to 2017, Claire was an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Biomedical Functional Imaging Lab at the University of Minnesota, where they collected and analyzed EEG data and performed MRI scans for brain computer interface applications. Claire continued their undergraduate research at the University of Minnesota from 2018 to 2019, this time at the ESTAND Clinical Trial, where they designed a pipeline for optimizing spinal cord stimulation in spinal cord injury patients.

In 2019, Claire joined The Johns Hopkins University as a Graduate Student Researcher in the Neuromedical Control Systems Lab. Claire'swork involved utilizing dynamical systems theory and control theory to model and design controllers for modifying stimulation to treat painful responses. Claire'scontributions in this role led to five years of funding from the NSF.

Claire's most recent work experience is with SPR Therapeutics, Inc., where they are currently employed as a Research Engineer starting from 2022.

Claire Zurn completed their Bachelor of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota from 2015 to 2019. Following this, they pursued their Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering at The Johns Hopkins University from 2019 to 2022.
