Projects

BLUETOOTH ENABLED HOME-USE LUNG FUNCTION MONITORING DEVICE Atlanta, GA

Capstone Design Project Team Leader 1/2017 – 5/2017

Collaborated with Micro-C to develop an optical gas-analyzing sensor implanted spirometer that monitors asthma patient’s lung function in home environment expecting to prevent 57billion dollar worth hospital visits annually.

Utilized SolidWorks and 3D printing to propose functioning prototypes to sponsoring company.

Programed an IPhone application to collect and display the data received by the device.

Gained in-depth knowledge of medical device manufacturing process and techniques, validation testing on software, IRB process and FDA/ISO regulations and documentation.

CONCUSSION PREVENTION DEVICE: A NECK COLLAR WITH AN ELECTRICAL FIELD STIMULATOR Atlanta, GA

Team member, Problems in Biomedical Engineering 5/2016 - 8/2016

Designed an automated wearable device for ice hockey players to reduce concussion by 72% via utilizing radar sensors, heart rate monitors, and direct current electric field stimulations.

Created prototypes using SolidWorks and 3D printing to test the effectiveness of the final design.

Conducted effect analysis to improve the safety of the device, and its reduction in concussive force utilizing knowledge in electrical engineering and MATLAB.

BIOMECHANICALLY POWERED DRUG DELIVERY INFUSION PUMP Atlanta, GA

Team member, Intro to Biomedical Engineering Design 8/2015 – 12/2015

Improved the infusion pump design to have virtually free power supply in order to make it affordable to third world countries.

Created and simulated functional prototypes using SolidWorks and 3D printing based on user requirements.

Applied engineering principles to optimize the outcomes of the prototypes and to perform root cause analysis.

Experience

GT CELL CULTURING LAB Atlanta, GA

Lab Assistant 1/2017 – 5/2017

Conducted research on existing literature experiments and proposed modified experiment designs to investigate effective methods of causing apoptosis on U87-EGFP, DLD-1 and SK-HEP-1 cell lines.

Discovered an effective apoptotic treatment and proved that it decreased 90% of the cancer cells through YKL-40 gene repression.

Gained advanced lab skills of Western Blots, ELISA, Flow Cytometry, HPLC, Cell Transfection, PCR, DNA purification, Protein Replication, and Cell Culture.

Utilized statistical tools to analyze collected data and presented it to the project team.

GT QUANTITATIVE ENGINEERING PHYSIOLOGY LAB Atlanta, GA

Project Team Member 8/2016 – 12/2016

Simulated chemical signaling of neurotransmitters on pre-clinical animal models and analyzed the contraction force of smooth muscle via LabVIEW to investigate the electro-physiological effects of the biological material.

Prepared experimental specimen using Solidworks and executed in-process quality control procedures including recording data following SOP and ASTM standards to ensure the changes in material properties of nitrile gloves caused by autoclave sterilization.

Gained knowledge in HIPAA regulations and utilizing statistical analyzing tools such as JMP, and Gpower.

GRADY HOSPITAL, EMORY HOSPITAL MIDTOWN Atlanta, GA

Emergency Department Student Observer 8/2016 – 12/2016

Observed processes and medical devices in clinical environment via shadowing Emergency Department surgeons.

Proposed innovative strategies to improve the hospital’s cost, safety, process, environment and device problems to Dr. Jeremy Ackerman (MD, Emergency Medicine of Emory Healthcare).
