Jason Luo has a diverse work experience that spans over several years. Jason began their career as an Undergraduate Researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, where they performed wet-bench technician duties and assisted in maintaining the laboratory supplies. After that, they worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Calit2-UC Irvine, leading discussion sections for undergraduate courses in biology and biomedical engineering and teaching over 150 students per quarter.

Jason then transitioned to the role of Graduate Student Researcher at Calit2-UC Irvine, where they contributed to an interdisciplinary effort to develop a microfluidic-based system for detecting tumor cells in the circulatory system. Jason designed, developed, and fabricated microfluidic devices and validated them using various techniques.

Following their graduate studies, Jason worked as an R&D Biomedical Engineer at Calit2-UC Irvine, where they developed integrated microfluidic systems for commercialization and collaborated with the Department of Urology in designing a load cell sensor for ureteroscopic surgery. Jason also supervised teams of undergraduate and graduate student researchers.

After their time at Calit2-UC Irvine, Jason became an ASEE Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, focusing on the development of a tissue-engineered model of the blood-brain barrier. Jason'sprimary research involved a collaborative effort with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and researchers from George Mason University.

Jason then joined Optics11 as an Application Scientist, where they were responsible for introducing and supporting the company's systems for mechanical characterization of soft biomaterials. Jason'sduties included instrument demonstrations, site visits, conference presentations, training, and data analysis.

Most recently, Jason joined Accellix as a Field Applications Scientist, although further details about their role are not provided.

Jason Luo obtained their Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering / Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. Following that, they pursued a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at UC Irvine, completing it in 2008. Jason continued their studies at UC Irvine and obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biomedical Engineering in 2015.
