• Troubleshot issues and made improvements to the Image Exchange Service and Image Viewer.
• Updated documents for software releases including technical manuals, and user and installation guides.
• Co-Host of the AI Innovation Space Podcast focused on applications of artificial intelligence (AI).

• Performed scientific and legal evaluations of patent applications directed to diagnostic imaging systems and methods by applying U.S. statutes of eligible subject matter, novelty, obviousness, and usefulness.
• Conducted research and prior art searches to identity relevant existing technologies for comparison.
• Communicated findings and rationale of patentability decisions via written office actions.

• Conducted research and product development (R&D) to produce healthcare diagnostic images using electromagnetics (microwave imaging) while minimizing the risk of harm to patients. Performed data collection, data.
• Created human computational phantoms for use in electromagnetic simulations.
• Derived and programmed computational electromagnetics equations and verified results.
