Developing novel devices for endoscopic surgery to simplify procedures, improve patient’s health, and reduce cost of care.

Led and managed multiple innovation programs and engineering teams in the field of therapeutic endoscopy, next generation endoscopes and devices

Medical device technology research, technology assessment, technology development, IP generation, conceptual and detailed design, and proof of concept and feasibility prototypes.

Evaluated new technologies for vascular access devices, new product development and continuous improvement of peripheral intravenous catheters, technical core team leader for development of a peripheral catheter (from concept to launch), managed in-vitro and in-vivo studies

Managed MRI-compatibility tests of mechatronic systems (on a 3-T whole body MRI), contributed to fMRI investigation of human motor control for healthy subjects and stroke patients.

Led cross-functional teams from research institute NU, clinical/hospitals (MGH and Spaulding), and industry WGI, Inc. to commercialize an fMRI compatible smart hand rehabilitation device

Developed MRI compatible robotic and mechatronics systems: design, fabrication, and control development of a hand rehabilitation device, performed MR-compatibility tests of mechatronic systems on a 3-T whole body MRI of the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, MGH.

Performed an experimental and computational (CFD) study of turbine blade cooling, film cooling effectiveness of a single row of cylindrical and shaped holes, airfoil trailing edge slot cooling, performed a numerical study of sand separation for engine inlet particle separator systems.
