As a Research and Development engineer at a startup medical device company, I took on diverse projects with the goal of helping patients with overactive bladder. In my primary role, I set up verification testing to evaluate product function. This included analyzing applicable standards, writing test plans, executing testing, and writing test reports. I coordinated testing with outside labs, and performed in-house testing as applicable. Other roles I performed include:• Performing risk assessments• Revising procedures to fit the company and comply with regulations (21 CFR 820)• Contributing to regulatory submission and communicating with regulatory bodies• Coordinating with vendors to ensure product specifications are met

I worked with four other engineering students to create a gearbox based device that pulls textbooks up a ramp using a small DC motor (Stall Torque of 0.0127 Nm). The finished device successfully completed all trials including a maximum loading of 5 textbooks (20 lbs) up a 60 degree incline. Personal Contributions:- Calculated optimum gear ratios for maximum motor power under the various loading conditions - Created 3 parts and the assembly in SolidWorks- Determined Manufacturing Tolerances- Machined parts of the device using lathes and mills

I worked within a group of engineering students to develop a motorized wheelchair attachment that allows wheelchair users to traverse steep and uneven terrain in Nepal. In this project, we determined user needs, created engineering specifications, designed a solution, manufactured a prototype, and performed verification testing. Specific roles I performed include the following:- Analyzed survey results to rank user needs - Created SolidWorks parts, drawings, and assemblies- Selected the motor type based on torque and power calculations- Made design decisions based on stress calculations for the wheel and motor unit- Assessed design stability- Contributed to the selection, performance, and analysis of verification testing- Maintained a GANTT Chart to monitor project progress- Machined, welded, and assembled portions of the prototype

Created a standalone application for programming electronics using C++ and MATLAB. The application is composed of a C++ Dynamic Link Library(DLL) and a MATLAB GUI.

In my primary project, I experimentally determined the effects of bleach soaking on femurs. This was done to validate the method of bleach soaking tissue removal in imaging studies. Analyzed the repeatability of JointTrack Auto, a program that maps the 3-D motion of bones from 2-D images such as X-rays. In this project, I used Matlab to relate kinematics of femoral and tibial components.
