Applied and Computational Biofluids Lab w/ Dr. Alain KassabConducting experimental analysis of a pulsatile benchtop model of left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Validating computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model for optimal cannula attachment angle onto the aortic arch. Perform literature review of past and current work with LVAD, heart conditions, and CFD modeling. Operated over 20 experiments utilizing Harvard Apparatus Pulsatile Blood Pump to emulate a patient heartbeat.

Thermodynamics TA for 3 semesters. Aided with grading assignments and exams for over 700 students.

This summer, I researched the material properties used in an ovine rib bone model for use in finite element analysis.

Orlando, Florida, United States

Clinical observation of three different sites (listed below) in order to better understand ways that engineering could better the medical field and create design ideas that could meet the needs of patients and clinicians. These observations were presented to BioDesign Staff at the end of every rotation to discuss feasibility and potential sponsorship for senior design projects. Observed at: Advent Health University Hope Clinic, an outpatient clinic for physical and occupational therapy for mostly stroke patients who are uninsured or underinsuredHanger Clinic, a prosthetic and orthotic delivery clinicVeterans Affairs Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, the branch of veteran care that included physical and occupational therapy, physiatry, prosthetics and orthotics, amputee clinics, and wheeled mobility care.
