Led a project through the entire product development cycle, from initial concept sketches to delivering finished device. Additionally, developed a point of care blood diagnostic machine with a team of 4 engineers. Gained significant experience with rapid prototyping, developing test protocols to identify cause of failure, and client communication.Other Accomplishments:• Developed a novel method for bonding microfluidic cartridge with UV adhesives• Conducted analysis and automated incoming inspection for parts and assemblies using a Vertex• Created an efficient manufacturing line for an initial production run• Designed a clamping method for a specialized PDMS cartridge using top down-modeling• Prepared samples and investigated glass surface contamination using SEM/EDX• Aggregated data to present detailed findings and next steps to an overseas client

Worked to finish design and begin production of verification prototypes of a large-scale blood diagnostic machine. Interfaced with the electrical and systems engineers to design an electronics cooling system for reliable and quiet use. Additionally, assisted other engineers with time-sensitive tasks to hit key deadlines. Other Accomplishments:• Redesigned thermal management system (TMS) of a critical module, using SolidWorks, to reduce noise and eliminate overheating failures• Designed seven manufacturing tools using SolidWorks for efficient and consistent production• Performed thermal analysis on a vital module using thermocouples and data logging• Communicated with vendors to obtain samples, discuss part specifications, and modify designs
