• Facilitated focus groups with stakeholders to determine needs and requirements for prototype
• Conducted uniaxial compression testing on biocompatible polymer samples using MTS compression system.
• I tested prosthetic limb prototypes in a clinical setting with patients.
• I developed a novel moisture permeability testing apparatus to quantify moisture permeability properties of membranes. This apparatus used microcontrollers to regulate vacuum pressure in the test chamber.
• Developed moisture permeable prosthetic limb liners using novel tough hydrogel
• Manufactured prototypes using a variety of materials including silicone, and novel hydrogel membranes
