I've issued test methods and validation or verification reports that are aligned with ISO and ASTM standards. I work with various med devices and perform design and device verification testing and summarize the results in technical reports for FDA filing. I also work with packaging and execute simulated shipping and handling using ASTM and ISTA standards.

• Briefly worked with medical foams and tested their properties• Form hydrogel networks using different peptides and a polymer network • Test gels mechanical properties using different rheological techniques• Developed an accurate testing method for the hydrogel and verified it with an existing test method• Created a calibration/ correction for an instrument to correctly measure the displacement• Practice in reading works of literature and keeping up to date with newly published worksConducting research in the Alvarez lab at Drexel has been a really great experience and I have learned a lot more about various materials and how to categorize them. It has bee a pleasure to be a part of such an inclusive lab where I have made many friends and connections.
