Greater Boston Area

• Worked as part of a growing start-up to develop, and design products around, advanced medical imaging and surgical robotics technologies
• Saved company tens of thousands of dollars in animal labs by developing a process for and fabricating a series of phantoms to model blood flow through vessels of varying sizes, at different flow rates, and at varying.
• Leveraged Matlab to develop code that spatially and temporally processes raw endoscopic laser images and outputs a map of tissue perfusion and vascularity
• Created a model of a herniated abdominal wall (w/ breathing motion) to test autonomous robotic stitching
• Designed and built modular fixtures to drive rapid prototyping of endoscopic concepts during animal lab testing
• Performed concept design and used SolidWorks / 3D-printing to model an advanced laparoscope product

Zürich Area, Switzerland

• Worked as part of a small start-up team to design and validate a fully automated robotic system to provide safe and precise injections into the eye
• Collaborated with the CEO and CTO of startup Ophthorobotics in a team of 3 from ideation through final prototype build to create a fully automated robotic system to provide safe and precise injections into the eye
• Designed and built foam system models based on concept designs to perform usability studies with doctors and patients, which informed the next design iteration
• Created a computer vision program in MATLAB used to track eye movement, shudder, and gaze fixation drift
• Optimized a robotic eye motion simulator and created an anatomically correct fixture for use as a “test subject”
• Designed subsystems, interacted with vendors, and ordered components for use within final prototype system

Gray, Maine

• Worked with the engineering and production teams to develop quality products through thoughtful design and extensive testing
• Created 3D models and 2D drawings in SolidWorks of manufacturable fixtures for assembly line usage while receiving exposure to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
• Authored reports for management based on thermal testing performed on LED light fixtures
• Devised and implemented lifecycle testing, high-speed amalgamator pattern verification, and motor torque tests to verify product effectiveness that culminated in written reports featuring design suggestions
• Performed thermal testing on LED light fixtures and wrote reports on the results that were presented to Enercon and customer management
• Designed the graphic user interface and workflows for a medical device using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

Catania Area, Italy

• Crafted a 20 page research paper in a team of five students to guide the internationalization strategy of Italian startup Smart Measurement Solutions
• Created a mathematical model using Matlab to rank the viability of potential foreign markets based on SMS’s product as well as market data
• Worked effectively in a team of five students from both the United States and Italy to present our market research and product innovation suggestions in front of over 50 people
