Daniel McGee Marin
Majoring in both Engineering and Business, I work to combine Engineering Problem Solving with Business Development to create and implement Effective Solutions.
About Me
I am an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, dual majoring in Electrical Engineering and Business. I have a background in Pre-Engineering from two years at Northern Kentucky University, where I did dual enrollment as a high schooler. I have a strong interest in the intersection of Engineering, Business, and Entrepreneurship.
I recently finished a university research project dedicated to creating an online air quality dashboard, including an interpolation model and data visualization tab.
Here are a few recent areas of focus:- Numerical Analysis
- LinAlg/Signal Decomp
- ODE’s
- Python, R, MATLAB
- Machine Learning
- Business Consulting
Experience
Working on strategy for Blue Origin as part of Berkeley’s M.E.T. Nature of Innovation course. This project focuses on guiding Blue Origin toward $3 billion in free cash flow by 2030, utilizing existing technologies and exploring growth opportunities through market analysis and operational strategy.
Working on the development of a value-based pricing model for Flux Robotics’ technology as part of a project focused on robot-assisted medical procedures. This involves analyzing market data, creating pricing models for US and EU markets, and testing various assumptions on clinical and cost-effectiveness to optimize pricing strategies for minimally invasive surgeries.
Conducting research as part of the Berkeley URAP program in the biotech team, focused on the testing, development, and production of carbon nanotube-based chips for biosensing applications. These chips are capable of detecting enzymes, antibodies, DNA, RNA, and more, contributing to advancements in minimally invasive diagnostics.
Summer undergraduate research project to create an air quality dashboard in R Shiny. Tasks included visualizing large-scale map data, and creating interpolated heat map algorithms.
Summer research project where I trained a machine learning model to classify gunshots and sirens, and created an Arduino device to alert people with hearing disabilities in war zones.
The research was submitted to the VentureWell DEBUT competition, and a department talk was given about the methods used for classification.
Worked at the department drop-in tutoring lab, covering content ranging from algebra to vector calculus and statistics.
