Brisbane, Australia

Biomechanical analysis of spinal fusions for customer using state-of-the-art robotic facility. Designed and executed experimental protocol. Developed software for equipment calibration, user interface, data acquisition and processing in Matlab. Reported directly to customer.

Brisbane, Australia

Designed and programmed a user interface in Matlab, which allows a user to identify anatomical landmarks in large 3D image sets, from which Finite Element Models can be derived for use in scoliotic spine surgery planning.

Brisbane Area, Australia

Developed a new Finite Element model of the lumbar vertebrae using ANSYS, enhanced a mathematical model of the lumbar spine using Matlab and integrated the two models. Validated research results using a 6 degrees-of-freedom robotic test facility. Presented at scientific conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.

Phd, Mechanical Engineering (Medical)

Designed and executed experimental protocol and developed guidelines and validation methods for the design of safe surgical graspers.

Msc, Mechanical Engineering

Activities and Societies: Co-organiser of a 10 day field trip for 27 students and staff through Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Specialised.
