Yazmin Feliz

Yazmin Feliz has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Columbia University with a special interest in developing life-saving and low-cost ultrasound diagnostics imaging technology. Yazmin is leading the UltrasonOS project which is driven by a growing interest in intelligent, affordable, and complete point-of-care diagnostic imaging. The project’s goal is to introduce a portable open-source medical ultrasound that addresses the needs of global users. This technology will be the first-ever imaging system that generates 3D sonograms for under $300 USD in materials cost, paving the way for ultra-affordable modalities to enter the ultrasound market. 

Yazmin has a background in supply chain and 7 years’ experience in project management. She has led projects ranging from consumer product reformulations, quality recalls, product lifecycle management, and research & development.  She is passionate about seeing ideas through completion and has been involved in the entrepreneurship landscape at Columbia since she began graduate studies in 2015.
