Detroit, Michigan

• Performed sled impact testing on cadavers to assist the U.S. Army in developing a dummy to measure the effects of loading from blast impacts.
• Analyzed the human body under high impact loading conditions.
• Knowledge of Hybrid III dummy instrumentation and instrumentation of cadavers.
• Experience with high speed data capture.

Detroit, MI

• Process data for research related to Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's
• Evaluation of MRI data such as T1WI, T2WI, T2 FLAIR, T2*, SWI, and SWIM for microbleeds and lesions.
• Evaluation of blood flow data in the neck and foot for abnormalities related to vasculature.
• Technical report writing for client specific patient reports.

Detroit, MI

• I lead the validation tests which evaluated a new motion capture device. I acquired the participants, set up the experiments, and collected the data.
• Determined the optimal Certus Optotrak Camera placement to capture lower extremity motion data.
• Developed and tested a cluster smart marker system to improve the accuracy of bony landmark marker placement. This system is used in the creation of a lower extremity model in C-Motion.
• Created an instruction manual with C-Motion templates, to guide others in creating a lower extremity model with a cluster marker system.

Troy, MI

• Shadowed Dr. Roth learning about Scoliosis and other general spinal deformities, along with current procedures for treatment.
• Learned general knowledge of spine biomechanics, and how they are altered by deformities.
• Learned the basics in reading and understanding spinal CT, MRI, and X-Rays.
• Observed Dr. Roth perform a lumbar decompression fusion surgery. This included the removal of older pedicle screws and rods, implementation of the new instruments, and the addition of bone grafts to fuse a portion of.

Northville, MI

• Worked on various landscaping projects including:
• Mulching flower beds
• Construction of a backyard patio
• Sod installation
• Tree removal/installation
• Lawn maintenance

Held weekly sessions for the Biomedical Engineering students in the mechanics of materials course at Wayne State University. Students were encouraged to come with questions where that they were having troubles with.

Auburn Hills, MI

• Worked in the Human Machine Interface (HMI) group writing best practices and performing competitive benchmarking for parallel park assist, blind spot alert, lane centering, and adaptive cruise control.
• Developed and performed a user test with Lextant to further advance Chrysler’s parallel park assist system. Worked with Lextant to create the questionnaire, assisted the user test, and helped analyze results.

Detroit, MI

• Coauthor in the publication: Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering titled Development of a 10-Year-Old Pediatric Thorax Finite Element Model Validated against Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Data.
• Learned finite element modeling using Hypermesh and Meshwork.
• Helped a graduate student working for her PhD. Generated a three dimensional model from CT Scans to create a model of a pig skull. Used Mimics, 3-Matic, and Meshworks software to generate the model.
• Worked on grant from Toyota to modify a model of a 10 year old child. This is a 5 year project that will allow the lab to test a woman and a child in a crash using FEA. Made the model more anatomically correct, using.
• Created the first anatomically correct CAD of a 10 YO child to be used in FEA.
• Participated and presented research at the 2011 Lissner Biomedical Engineering Research Day.
