Daniel Lewis Magley
PhD student, Harvard/MIT HST Program
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Daniel Magley completed his Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. Growing up in the rural mountains of North Carolina; Daniel saw a need for both affordable healthcare and early detection of diseases. In pursuit of solutions to these problems, Daniel has obtained patents in both microfluidic propulsion and wireless power transfer to implanted biomedical devices. He now hopes to pursue in-vivo diagnostics for early detection and monitoring of diseases as a Medical Engineering and Medical Physics student in the joint Harvard/MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) program.
