• As the Software Engineer for a small medical device startup, I am responsible for the development of medical imaging software for eventual approval under ISO 13485 / FDA (Title 21 CFR). This involves
• development of medical CT reconstruction software, both traditional CT and CT X-Ray velocimetry using 4Dx' patented technology
• design and maintenance of existing CT systems deployed at Monash University
• assisting in the implementation of compliant processes and the development of compliant specifications
• co-ordinating the documentation of legacy design and development work to fulfill strict medical device standards.

During my time as a Research Officer at Monash University, I worked on a number of systems integration challenges to control a large scale X-Ray imaging laboratory. Some key outcomes from this work were: * Development of a desktop user interface that integrated multiple realtime imaging systems and X-Ray sources, including realtime image display. *.

• My thesis focused on the development of technology and capabilities that allowed, for the first time, the study of cell mechanics in a non-contact, purely fluidic environment, in a fully automated fashion. The work.
• a control system simulator that combines CFD with an innovative time-stepping approach
• realtime flow control system using realtime, GPU-accelerated, image analysis
• a unique approach for tracking cells in noisy conditions
• an advanced flow controller, combining expertise in both software and hardware, designed specifically for high bandwidth manipulation of flow in microfluidic systems. Working within the university both on my thesis and.
• laboratory practice, including work in a PC2 (clinical) laboratory and the handling of biological samples

• At Vipac, I was responsible for delivering engineering insights in the fields of acoustics and vibration to key stakeholders in the oil & gas and power industries.Working, at times independently, and at customer sites.
• Gathering vibration and acoustic data from industrial and commercial sites and liaising with clients to minimise the impact on operations.
• Analysis of routine vibration measurements to assess machine health and make recommendations on remedial action.
• Modal analysis of industrial plant to investigate potential failure modes to identify problem areas and recommend changes to improve plant reliability.
• Analysis of bearing motion in large power turbines to identify operational issues that affect reliability and efficiency, leading to the development of a suite of analysis techniques. In my time at Vipac, I grew to.

Active Noise Control for Preterm Infants.Working in the Acoustics Laboratory at the University of Canterbury, I conducted research into active noise control for hearing protection of preterm infants. Preterm infants have a higher occurrence of medical risk factors that necessitate specialist care. Particularly in countries with disperse populations (such.
