Project Highlights:

2013: “Post-Op Cardiac Tamponade Detector” – Observed open heart surgery

and worked with Cleveland Clinic Cardiologists, Anesthesiologists, Perfusionists, and

the Clinical Engineering Department to uncover different needs in the medical

environment. Wrote the design history file, business plan for product development,

and presentation for two professors and 20 students.

2012: “Left Ventricular Assistance Device (LVAD)” – Theoretically designed the

logic control system for the LVAD from a Class IV patient to Class II. Measured heart

beat for input to control cardiac output, systolic aortic pressure, suction, and

regurgitation. Created the design history file for FDA approval.

2011: “Valve Design for Simulation of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance” –

Served as the team leader to improve the adjustable pulmonary valve for The
