• Obtain, review, and document patient’s medical history through a pre-operative interview. Conduct neurological exams to evaluate any present neurological deficits prior to the beginning of the surgery.
• Engage with surgeon and anesthesiologist to establish the best monitoring plan based on the neural structures most at risk for the procedure. Continuously communicate with surgeons and OR staff throughout the surgery.
• Monitor the functional integrity of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves during surgical procedures, both in the operating room and interventional radiology suite, including but not limited to.
• Perform software and hardware troubleshooting techniques to ensure proper data collection.
• Maintain compliance to all hospital credentialing platforms such as SEC3URE (IntelliCentrics), Symplr, Vendormate and Green Security.
• Professionally certified in Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring (CNIM), issued by ABRET

- Lead the software implementation of a novel biomedical device consisting of a half-dome with 13 RGBW LEDs, used for clinical ambulatory testing of full-field visual acuity.- Succesfully integrated a hand-held button within the Arduino circuitry: the patient, during testing, pushes it as soon as he/she sees an LED light up; once the patient pushes the.

Neural Engineering Vision Lab (NEVL)

Perform the mechanical assembly of a three-dimensional stimulus source for Peripheral Pattern Electroretinography (ERG), a novel device able to test both the central and peripheral retina, combining the features of current stimulators into a single device, and allowing for the early detection of retinal diseases, consequently minimizing vision loss.Carry.

Managed and provided support as facilitator to two students’ groups in the formulation of a solution to three bioengineering problems proposed throughout the course.Held office hours to provide feedback to the students during the development of the solutions to the bioengineering problems proposed in class.Graded the oral presentations of the two groups.
