EXPERIENCE

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, CLEMSON, SC, 29631

Research Assistant Department of Mechanical Engineering 2011-Current

Conducted biomechanics research for the Leducq Foundation Transatlantic Network focused

on Single Ventricle Heart Defects, which involves 8 engineering and clinical centers in the US

and Europe. Overall research funding is 6 million dollars.

Designed and validated an in vitro multi-domain test loop for stage 2 Glenn circulation of

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, whose incidence is about 0.01%.

Did test method improvement for the in vitro test loop and increased data acquisition efficiency.

Computationally and experimentally verified a novel surgery named Assisted Bidirectional

Glenn circulation for stage1 palliation. Effectively improved patients’ systemic oxygen delivery

by 15% and exercise tolerance. Decreased required surgery number from 3 to 2.

Used SolidWorks and 3Matic to design different nozzle models for potential surgery.

Co-authored five professional publications.
