About

Masashi Sode is a PhD candidate in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, UNC-Chapel Hill/NC State.

Prior to joining the program, Masashi received his B.S. and M.E. in Aerospace Engineering from Tohoku University, Japan. After graduation, he worked for 4 years in a biomedical startup company (Aillis, Inc.) developing medical AI.

In the startup company, he developed the influenza diagnosis AI using throat camera images (doi: 10.2196/38751) as a key developer and researcher in the AI team. This AI device was approved by the Japanese version of the FDA, and it was the first time a prospective study of an AI medical device was conducted in Japan.

In his B.S. and M.E., he conducted a research in the field of aerospace engineering at Tohoku University. His research was on the design method of composite aircraft wing using multi-objective Bayesian optimization. To create the automated aircraft design method, the Genetic Algorithm, multi-objective Bayesian Optimization with Gaussian process, Finite Element Method, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and the fluid-structure interaction method are integrated into a Python library with a high-performance computing environment.
