Strategy & Performance

Durham, North Carolina, United States

- Assisted in prototyping, 3D printing, and documentation of lower extremity medical device and instruments- Performed simulated use testing of first metatarsal-phalangeal (MTP) implant, used to treat patients with arthritis to restore joint motion and relieve pain- Designed custom tools and developed standardized protocol for surgical removal of MTP implant.

Durham, North Carolina, United States

- Listen to audio recordings of clinical encounters between cardiologists and their patients and identify instances of effective communication and patient participatory behaviors- Goal is to determine the effect of a clinician communication coaching intervention on an objective measure of the quality of communication and patients’ perceptions of the quality of patient-centered care

- Mentor student-athletes in math and science courses

Durham, North Carolina, United States

Eye Tracking: Objective Assessment for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Youth Athletes- Goal of project was to assess how head impact exposure may contribute to observable deficits in oculomotor response that can be tracked and used for diagnostic purposes- Changes in oculomotor response are assessed as an objective tool for diagnosing concussion and quantifying the pathophysiology of cumulative subconcussive insults to the pediatric brain

Durham, North Carolina, United States

- Focusing on human cardiac tissue engineering from pluripotent stem cells - Ultimate goal is to develop a cardiac patch to improve cardiac repair after myocardial infarctions - Conduct isometric force measurement tests, qPCR, and quantified image analysis.

Employee Occupational Health and Wellness Clinic - Documented Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) cases on Agility and Excel for all employees at Duke University and Duke Health's three hospitals - Reported any errors identified in FMLA cases - Have entered a total of 960 cases into the database

Melbourne, Florida, United States

3D Printing for Biomedical Applications- Developed different CAD models to mimic native vasculature- 3D bioprinted vascularized tissue constructs using a bioink and sacrificial structure- Characterization of 3D bioprinted vascularized tissue constructs - Designed and 3D printed a toe exercise tool to mitigate the impacts of muscle atrophy due to spaceflight

Greensboro/Winston-Salem, North Carolina Area

Worked with the Center for Engineering Complex Tissues at WFIRM conducting research in Dr. Anthony Atala's laboratory. - Primarily focused on the development of a microfluidic model to assess large osteochondral defects. - Fabricated an organ-on-a-chip system to simulate the interactions between the articular cartilage layer and synovial membrane-derived progenitor cells. - Learned cell culture, preparation of hydrogels, fabrication techniques (e.g. laser cutting), and imaging techniques.
