Test engineer to evaluate biomedical devices from a wide array of medical device manufacturers.

Co-authored patent to document process of removing periosteal tissue from long bones for further processing and differentiation into allograft products. Patent Number: 20200086001Built an axial bioreactor to deliver dynamic stresses and strains to tissue constructs, tissue-engineered scaffolds, cartilage explants, etc. This bioreactor is programmed with LabVIEW which allows for a functional, accessible UI. Additionally, the displacements are generated with a linear actuator and the… Show more Co-authored patent to document process of removing periosteal tissue from long bones for further processing and differentiation into allograft products. Patent Number: 20200086001Built an axial bioreactor to deliver dynamic stresses and strains to tissue constructs, tissue-engineered scaffolds, cartilage explants, etc. This bioreactor is programmed with LabVIEW which allows for a functional, accessible UI. Additionally, the displacements are generated with a linear actuator and the tissue constructs are positioned above a load cell with fixturing that I designed. Show less
