Hi, I am Jan. I study Biomedical Engineering at TU Delft and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from National Taiwan University. Born in Cebu, Philippines and raised in Taiwan, I am driven by a passion for developing affordable and sustainable medical devices aimed at bridging global healthcare disparities.

Before starting on my graduate studies in the Netherlands, I had several years of experience in Taiwan’s medical device industry. My roles spanned manufacturing and R&D, where I focused on the development of medical devices—a career passion that continues to motivate my professional pursuits. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places. I love outdoor activities, including hiking and trekking in Taiwan, and swimming during the summers.

As a PhD candidate at UMC Utrecht, I am engaged in the ESCH-R project under workpackage 5, focusing on the design and implementation of circular technologies in healthcare settings. My research involves studying the application of these technologies in two clinical contexts: eye surgery in Ophthalmology and hemodialysis in nephrology.
