• Independently developed a new mechanical test method for an innovative Class III implantable medical device, designed to simulate how the device would behave in a clinical setting.
• Designed and executed a 7 factor study to characterize test method parameters and identify sources of variability in the test method and in the device.
• Implemented data analytics techniques to analyze test results, demonstrating a 26% difference in mechanical strength attributed to the test method rate.
• Assisted in the execution of a Design of Experiments (DOE) regarding a manufacturing process improvement, resulting in determination of specific process parameters to optimize device performance.

• Prepare in vitro assays of plasma clots and perform experiments on the Biomomentum instrument to collect data regarding mechanical properties such as shear, tensile, and compression.
• Interpret data using Prism software to determine structural changes in contracted clots and their influence on the mechanical properties to ultimately better understand and develop future treatments for thrombosis.My.

• Research & Development Procurement
• Innovated a new method to model cost effectiveness for Real World Data(RWD) resulting in ~$35k savings per patient per clinical trial phase
• Collaborated with cross functional departments to develop a refined Request for Proposal (RFP) Process for the R&D Team, resulting in a 50% reduction in time taken to initiate and enable the RFP Process for Health.
• Standardized and simplified the Fair Market Value (FMV) Process to develop a more user friendly tracking system
