I was responsible for presenting material to potential Clemson Engineering students about the Bioengineering department.I fielded questions about the department, Clemson as a whole, and student life, in order to give students and families a better idea of what it means to pursue a Clemson Bioengineering degree.

My senior design project, a one year endeavor, looked at improving the process of placing an IV dressing. We focused on the peripheral use. The product my team developed and validated improves upon the industry standard Tegaderm (3M) by allowing it to attach to the IV line prior to placing it. This in turn causes the IV line to act as a "third hand" so the clinician will never need an extra set of hands to place the IV right the first time, every time. Thus, avoiding reinsertion and risk of CRBSI.I was the President of Clemson Bionics, an undergraduate team working to develop a low-cost, 3D prosthetic devices. My primary responsibility as a part of this engineering team is the CAD design, which is done primarily in Solidworks. Initially, we designed various models of a hand and fingers that targeted the pediatric market. More recently, we acknowledged that a major issue in prosthetic use is confidence in the deivce, which can lead to lack of participation in social activities and lack of use of it in general. Our team is creating a system of embedded sensors to tell the user that the socket is fit correctly, in hopes of increasing confidence in use. Furthermore, I locate outreach experiences and conferences for group members to attend and present at. Previously I worked in the Cell Mechanics and Mechanobiology lab, under direction of Dr. Jiro Nagatomi, with Graduate Student Martin Alejos. Our work focused on an adhesive meant to be applied on wet surfaces after surgeries that cures quickly. My primary responsibility was syntheszing the hydrogel and adhesive and then testing it with a lap-shear test.Lastly, I worked on the functionalization of polymers with PGG for use in electrospun vascular grafts. My responsibilities focused on the development of standard curves in order to determine the relationship between calcification of the graft and concentration of PGG.

-As the Marketing Director, it was my responsibility to develop comprehensive strategic plans for the facility's annual symposium and microscopy contest. I also create posters, flyers, and other ads for the facility to be distributed along various medias.-Used various microscopes to obtain images of specimens, both for members of the Clemson community and for contracted projects.-Use of the Adobe Suite to prepare these images for final print and other uses.-Provide tours of the facility with details of different microscopes to visitors and prospective users.

• Managed 5 person team using agile techniques in the design and implementation of a new commercial prototype to enhance user experience and ease of use• Developed workflows to be implemented into general analysis applications and for specific corporate customers’ needs• Created technical descriptions, marketing collateral, and value proposition documentation for two new product launches in FY19

• Completing technology evaluations for Clemson University inventions to determine path to market and commercial potential• Performing due diligence patent background check for these innovations, with a focus on the life sciences and medical devices• Drafting non-confidential summaries for technologies to present to potential licensees and locate potential contacts within relevant industriesCURF is responsible for managing the technology transfer functions for Clemson University. This includes receiving assignment of inventions, working with faculty to determine commercial potential, obtaining intellectual property protection, and licensing innovations to the private sector.

My major project was preparing a regulatory history report for the majority of an internal business unit’s products to support an FDA Premarket Notification (510k) submission.Secondary projects included:-Sent field notifications for product updates and collaborated with in-country representatives to determine regulatory impact internationally.-Communicated with in-country regulatory representatives to assemble responses to InternationalRegulatory Requests (IRRs).-Updated Declarations of Conformity (DoCs) for product changes.

I spent the summer between my Sophomore and Junior years at Clemson University as a researcher in the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University, in the biochemical research laboratory. Here, I am working on using bacterial cellulose as a platform to create an activated carbon to be used for drug removal from wastewater. My responsibilities include both the preparation of the activated carbon as well as the analysis of its adsorption potential.

-I was responsible for redesigning the patient interface for a retinal scanning device in the lab.-Utilized AutoDesk Inventor to design the parts.-Ran the in-house 3D printer to create the prototypes.-Assisted other lab members in the development and printing of parts for their projects.-Part of the Biotechnology and Bioengineering Undergraduate Institute for Learning and Discovery (BUILD) program
