About Mark
Mark Levatich is an engineer and innovator known for combining his deep understanding of biology and engineering to create new medical and technological devices. As a lifelong tinkerer, his career has focused on developing solutions for healthcare and advanced interfaces. Mark received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biological and biomedical engineering from Cornell University. His early research was diverse, spanning cancer studies, computational biology, and creating devices for neurosurgery. For example, he earned patents for inventing surgical tools that help surgeons seal holes in the skull during a specific type of brain surgery. He spent time as a Medical R&D Engineer at Novasentis, where he helped create the world’s thinnest and most flexible haptic (touch-based) technology. This technology is used in medical and wearable products that use movement and sound to create new sensory experiences. His work there included developing signals to mimic realistic synthetic textures for Virtual Reality gloves. Currently, Mark is a Staff Engineer at Triple Ring Technologies, an engineering and product development firm. He uses his background in medical devices and tactile technology to develop new solutions, holding six issued patents in polymer actuation and surgical devices. Mark focuses on pushing the boundaries of how electronics and human biology can work together.
