Prepared presentations for and led formal component design reviews

Followed manufacturing process instruction to build OraFuse drug delivery devices
Measured and analyzed flow rate of drug delivery devices
Designed fixtures to facilitate epoxy bonding of plastic and titanium components and wrote manufacturing process instructions for bonding of said components
Developed and performed test methods for performance and destructive testing of drug delivery devices
Trained operators at a Contract manufacturer to manufacturing process instructions and supervised device builds
Evaluated multiple changes for next-generation device via simulation software and the testing of physical prototypes

Designed and experimented with prototypes of a cable-actuated end-effector for prosthetic hands to enable grasping small objects
Presented key advantages and limitations of part designs during design reviews
Wrote MATLAB scripts that facilitated data collection and exporting from several XSens inertial mass units (IMUs)
Modelled and 3D printed components of a simulated trans-radial prothesis which was used by research staff for testing prototypes
Conducted Human Subjects tests with IMUs and custom pressure insoles in the Rhode Island VA Gait Lab for the development of a motion analysis system which can be run in an office setting
Characterized IMU calibration accuracy in environments with various magnetic interferences
Optimized the design of and prototyped a foot powered hydraulically using energy stored during heel strike
Measured energy costs to actuate piston cylinders with oils varying in viscosity using an INSTRON machine

Evaluated silicone one-way slit valve implants through measurement of flow rate
Authored assembly drawings and manufacturing process instructions for an endoscopic instrument
Modelled a custom fixture in SolidWorks which was used to measure the actuation forces of the controls for an endoscopic instrument, and wrote the protocol for the force measurement.
Tested instrument prototypes in a colonoscopy training model and measured actuation forces of instrument controls
Set device control specifications based on ergonomics research and statistical analysis of test results
Participated in concept development of devices through concentrated brainstorm sessions

Collected and reported dimensional measurements of injection molded parts for tool validation
Created and ran measurement programs for OGP Smartscope optical and touch-probe system
Prepared work instructions for analyzing CT scans of parts with VGStudio Software
