Truc "Sam" Nguyen

PhD Candidate in Biomedical Engineering · UNC-Chapel Hill|

Now in my final year, I work with Dr. Yueh Z. Lee at UNC-Chapel Hill, developing MRI acquisition and processing pipelines for lung imaging. My work enables pulmonary function and dynamics analysis across 30+ clinical trial participants and 100+ datasets.

Outside the lab, I'm a Partner at CGsquared, a student-led pro bono consulting group, and a Venture Catalyst Fellow at Innovate Carolina in the 2026–2027 cohort. Before grad school, I was a Process & Equipment Engineer at Intel Products Vietnam, where I 10x-ed semiconductor yields during COVID disruption.
