• Adapted nanofabrication technologies to the production of soft and stretchable biomimetic sensors used for in vitro research and mechanistic studies. • Optimized and modified manufacturing process to enable BMSEED to fabricate the sensor in-house, greatly reducing the cost, time, and failure rate of the sensors. Overall saving the company 70,000 dollars in development of sensors. • Designed and developed testing protocols for an interface board that allows the use of our electrodes with an open-source electrophysiology data acquisition controller. • Conceptualized, designed and developed a prototype for a 3D-organoid research platform using vacuum to envelope the sensors around the organoid; the work led to BMSEED being awarded an SBIR grant from NIH. • Computed Matlab and Python codes to analyze electrophysiology data• Conducted customer interviews and presented in the role of chief technology officer for team BMSEED in the NIH I-Corps program (2022), and gained valuable experience in the opportunities and challenges of running a start up in the biomedical industry. • Supported customers and collaborators on site and via Zoom calls to solve technical issues.• Co-inventor for BMSEED patent “SOFT & STRETCHABLE MICROELECTRODE ARRAYS (sMEAs) WITH 3D POCKET AND MICROFLUIDIC CHANNEL” (AN: 17941072)

• Collaborated with surgeons to develop innovative orthopedic devices that improve the surgical process and surgery outcome quality.• Developed early ideas and concepts into functional prototypes and manufacturable products. • Built rapid prototypes to accelerate device development and testing.• Collected feedback from surgeons' experiments to update device designs and improve effectiveness. • Participated in the risk evaluation and risk management quality process.

Mesa, Arizona

• Worked in Dr. Panagiotis Polygerinos’ robotics lab developing a fabric-based soft robotic gripper to integrate into a fabric-based arm to assist people with disabilities in their daily life.• Built numerous soft robots and gripping device prototypes.• Developed a new type of artificial actuator to be used in robotic grippers.• Designed, built and tested a new kind of soft bending actuators made out of fabric to construct a lightweight reliable gripper.• Gained expertise in fluid mechanics, stress analysis of elastic materials, and kinematics of the human hand. • Co-inventor for ASU patent, “FABRIC-REINFORCED TEXTILE ACTUATORS” (AN: US11584021B2)
