Lead for instrument architecture and system integration topics for a fully automated Blood Gas & Electrolytes Point-of-Care device

Hombrechtikon, Switzerland

At HSE, I planned and coordinated technical instrument development tasks.I designed and tested microfluidic-based consumables. I developed systems and built system architectures to automate workflows of biological processes. Further, I participated in client workshops to review novel technologies and I was involved in the project proposal work. I also presented HSE at conferences and other activities like webinars.Main tasks and responsibilities at HSE:• Coordinate and plan… Show more At HSE, I planned and coordinated technical instrument development tasks.I designed and tested microfluidic-based consumables.

Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain

Senior Engineer for development of industry prototypes:• Mobile analyzer of volatile components in hot gases via Fourier-Transform-Infrared-Spectroscopy • Light stimulated bioreactors for pigmented algea

Thesis title:A new platform for polymer-based biosensing - Fabrication technologies for an electrochemical biosensor.

I designed, developed and fabricated a novel multi-electrode array of gold electrodes on a polymer substrate for a point of care device to diagnose deep vein thrombosis. I characterized the device using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
