- Led the Articulation Tracking project, developing a method to accurately measure the articulation position of a robotic, articulating vessel sealer with a precision of ±0.5 degrees- Engineered and iterated tracking fixtures using Creo to optimize the infrared (IR) tracker for better space utilization- Conducted a comparative analysis of IR vs. CMM tracker methods and used MATLAB to mathematically compute accurate pitch and yaw in given instrument orientations from outputted data- Delivered a presentation to VPs, managers, and peers on critical project insights and achievements

- Led the design of a device for the effective diagnosis and research of Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome (PAES)- Collaborated with an orthopedic surgeon, senior engineers, and graduate students in the rigorous design review process- Co-authored “Design of a Device to Ease and Improve the Diagnosis of Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome” highlighting the project’s approach and design

- Enhanced manufacturing processes through continuous improvement strategies across all production areas- Performed validations on tools and equipment for process improvement, enhanced efficiency, and increased yield- Completed numerous investigations, corrective actions, and reviews of Non-Conformance Material Reports (NCMR)- Utilized Minitab for statistical analysis, conducting multiple Design of Experiments (DOE) on equipment such as Alloyd HeatSealers and Roller Presses

- Designed, prototyped, and troubleshot mechanical intragastric balloons for potential bariatric use with a team of three interns- Conducted in vitro experiments and in vivo swine studies to assess optimal balloon material, inflation sensor, Teensy/Arduino chips and code, and implementation of the device for future clinical use; analyzed data via MATLAB- Publishing a paper detailing our device design and findings

Laboratory for Multiscale Regenerative Technologies under Sangeeta Bhatia and Sandra March-Riera- Researched database of 800+ CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 drugs and identified most interesting and relevant drugs for further experiments and research based on their mechanism of action, half life, and drug class - Studied liver circadian rhythms and chronopharmacokinetics with the goal to improve drug efficacy and diminish drug toxicity

Center for LAM Research and Clinical Care's Henske Lab under Elizabeth Henske and Kosmas Kosmas, PhD- Conducted a study with Dr. Kosmas Kosmas to discover the relationship between stress granules and TSC 2 in order to better target drug therapy for the TSC 2 disease, a mutated gene that causes a destructive lung disease, cysts, and tumors
