Quality control testing of incoming material and finished product (artificial ligaments and associated devices).Investigation of non-compliant material and product internally and with suppliers.Programming of optical and multi-sensor metrology equipment.

Due to organisational changes my position within DePuy International transfered to DePuy Orthopaedic. I now report directly into the Research Group in the US.I am currently part of a team providing biomechanical test validation of orthopaedic devices, principally hip and knee prostheses and instruments.I lead the development of a Laboratory Information Management System.Work on acetabular cup impaction and deformation and the study of the impaction process will form the core research for an MSc at the university of Leeds.

I worked as part of a team providing biomechanical test validation of orthopaedic devices, principally hip and knee prostheses and instruments.I headed up the equipment validation program which ensures that equipment is installed, calibrated and maintained so as to provide consistent, reliable test data.I led the implemetation of a Laboratory Information Management System.

Researching potential for robotic technology to meet the needs of a walking orthosis for people with spinal injury.
