PhD - Bioengineering Independent Consultant BioniChaos Founder

Yuri Beno, PhD

Independent Biomedical Data Scientist & Consultant

I bridge the gap between complex biomedical signals and robust software interfaces. My work focuses on client-side biological processing (EEG, ECG, EMG), low-latency web audio translation, and medical bionics. I consult for software, clinical, and electronics teams seeking dedicated R&D support.

This portfolio highlights an expansive suite of client-side web tools developed for BioniChaos.comβ€”an open-source digital sandbox designed to simplify complex biomedical concepts using client-side interactive web engines.
