Over the course of the summer of 2019 I was fortunate enough to be able to intern with and work along side the pre-market research and design team within the medical surgery division at Cook Medical Endoscopy. Over the course of the summer I gained valuable insight into the creation process of a new endoscopic medical device and the skills and techniques required to get an idea from a concept all the way to a physcian's hands. This experience provided myself with a first-hand view of how vital… Show more Over the course of the summer of 2019 I was fortunate enough to be able to intern with and work along side the pre-market research and design team within the medical surgery division at Cook Medical Endoscopy. Over the course of the summer I gained valuable insight into the creation process of a new endoscopic medical device and the skills and techniques required to get an idea from a concept all the way to a physcian's hands. This experience provided myself with a first-hand view of how vital a daily and healthy relationship is between researchers, engineers, production employees, and physicians. My main responsibilities for the summer were to work on the optimization of design outputs and manufacturing equipment used within the production line of a soon to be released endoscopy product where I gained extensive knowledge of both Creo and Minitab software programs that I had not previously had experience using.

My specific role was to work alongside and learn from the biomedical engineering technicians at Rochester General Hospital. We as a team were focused on the identification, troubleshooting, and correction of malfunctioning medical devices within the health care system. I personally had the opportunity to work on medical devices such as defibrillators, EKG machines, and patient bedside monitors. Was also given the opportunity to learn from and observe professionals installing and calibrating… Show more My specific role was to work alongside and learn from the biomedical engineering technicians at Rochester General Hospital.

I had the opportunity to have worked under James Baish, Ph.D. at Bucknell University and in collaboration with the Edwin L. Steele Laboratory for Tumor Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital. During this research opportunity I had the opportunity to have designed, constructed, and analyzed a large-scale mechanical model of the lymphatic system to gain further insights into its role in cancer treatment. The model utilized mechanical pumps which were operated by self written MATLAB code which… Show more I had the opportunity to have worked under James Baish, Ph.D. at Bucknell University and in collaboration with the Edwin L. Steele Laboratory for Tumor Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital. During this research opportunity I had the opportunity to have designed, constructed, and analyzed a large-scale mechanical model of the lymphatic system to gain further insights into its role in cancer treatment. The model utilized mechanical pumps which were operated by self written MATLAB code which simultaneously collected and presented fluid dynamics data. The resulting work was presented at the 2017 BMES meeting in Phoenix, AZ and the 2018 World Congress of Biomechanics in Dublin, Ireland. Show less
