Bethesda, Md

• Worked with a confluence of engineers, molecular biologists, clinicians and pathologists, to develop and improve new molecular diagnostic systems. • Took raw concepts and turned them into working prototypes using a systems engineering approach. Invented new hardware, software, reagents, and procedures. Tested new techniques on human tissue specimens, created high-throughput datasets from near cellular-level bioanalyte, and analyzed the results using a variety of multivariate statistical techniques.• Led several students and contractors to perform their own independent research. Presented concepts frequently in a group setting and at major scientific venues. • Created prototypes geared towards technology commercialization, two of which led to new biotechnology startups/licenses from the public to private sector. • Earned the Director's award to advance my own novel concept, Tablet Microdissection, which uses a touchscreen interface and DLP projection system to capture cells from microscope slides in a proprietary chemical matrix suitable for downstream diagnoses. • Evaluated blood flow in tumor metastasis using computer image segmentation.• Evaluated High-Throughput Microarray and multi correlated qRT-PCR data for significance.• Acquired broad technical experience in systems integration, systems engineering, procurement of custom products, intellectual property, cooperative research agreements, grant writing, biostatistics, software (MATLAB, Python, SQL), genomics, DNA technologies, optics, fluid dynamics, additive manufacturing, and electronics.

Gaithersburg, Md

• Designed new tools for molecular biology, focusing on developing deep subject matter expertise in micro RNA, mRNA, and DNA to enable detection of these molecules from small specimens samples.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Biomedical/Medical Engineering

• Designed numerous R&D innovations including a method to simultaneous view a few molecules of genetic material accross a specimen.
