EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

[European Academy – Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic] English Teacher for Spanish Speaking Students May 2018 – November 2018

Planned, organized, and taught personalized English classes for students of diverse age groups.

Promoted the company and its goal of increasing biliteracy in the country through career fairs.

[Brunel University London, Health Sciences Department – London, UK] Biomechanics Research Assistant for Dr. Amir Mohagheghi May 2017 – October 2017 Data Collection & Motion Capture Analysis

Proved that the Inertial Motion Unit (IMU), known as the Shadow System, was a cheaper, yet still reliable and accurate, alternative to Optical Motion Capture Systems in a biomechanics research lab setting.

Planned and directed a controlled experiment where subjects would carry out different exercises, collected their kinematic data, compiled and processed said data with an original MATLAB code, evaluated the validity of the collected data with statistical tools, and then compared the experimental data with real world results found in academic papers.

[The Pennsylvania State University, Kinesiology Department – State College, PA, USA] Biomechanics Research Assistant for Dr. Stephen Piazza June 2015 – May 2016 Product Design and Manufacturing

Rehabilitated a one-handed violinist by 3D modeling and printing a prosthetic violin adapter for him.

Restored a trumpet player’s ability to play, despite his myopathy muscle weakness, by devising an electromechanical trumpet that used solenoids, a battery pack, and low force buttons to ease the operation of the trumpet. BIOMEDICAL PROJECTS

Redesign of T3 Heater Unit for Cardiovascular Surgery Led a multidisciplinary team of engineers in

redesigning and improving a cardiovascular bypass

system through the use of finite element analysis. Medical Compartments for Motorcycle Ambulances in Africa Conceptualized, modeled, and tested through simulations a new type of medical compartment that would be used by a real-world organization – Riders for Health.
