Objective: Motivated engineering graduate with extensive teamwork and leadership skills. Leads an active lifestyle and looking to learn more about careers in Biomedical Engineering. Wish to gain more experience in the work place and develop technical and professional engineering skills.
Education:
B.S. In Biomedical Engineering May 2019
The University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, Texas
AES Scholar, AP National Scholar, Deans List, Magna Cum Laude
Final GPA: 3.919
Relevant Projects:
Senior Design: Remote Patient Range of Motion Measurement App Fall 2018 – Spring 2019
For two semesters, worked in a team of five to complete a range of motion app for Android devices. The app was created using Android studios and included: audio/visual instructions, embedded video files, automated data collection, error detection, and the ability to view past data in list or graphical format. A second app was also created for use in multi-joint systems, such as the rotator cuff. This app contained all the features of its predecessor, though used two external sensors (composed of Raspberry Pi, external battery pack, as well as an accelerometer and gyroscope) for data collection. The Spinal App was accurate within +/- 5 degrees 91% of the time, while the Rotator Cuff App was accurate within +/- 10 degrees 97% of the time. Improved planning, organization, and professional communication skills.
Exercise Monitor: Components and Systems Design Lab Spring 2018
Collaborating with one other teammate, to design a medical device for a Junior Design Expo. The goal was to make a more affordable version of a FitBit that would be accessible to lower income users. The device was battery powered and was capable of monitoring step count, heart rate, and exertion levels. Communication between the accelerometer, display, and pulse oximeter was facilitated by an Arduino Uno microcontroller and an accompanying program written in a language similar to C++. Improved coding, problem solving, and team work skills.
Artificial Kidney: Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers Spring 2017
An individual project to research and design an innovative medical device or artificial organ that could theoretically be built with current (or near future) technologies. A thorough understanding of how the kidney functions were needed to design its replacement. The design incorporated sensors to detect ion levels and osmolality of the blood, as well as a main chamber containing ion exchange resins to capture excess ions. Improved research skills, professional writing, and independence.
Technical Experience:
Project experience with languages and platforms such as: C++, C, Matlab, LabVIEW, Solidworks, Java, Android Studios, Verilog, microcontrollers (Launchpad, Arduino, Raspberry Pi), general circuit prototyping, soldering, and basic machining tools.
Work Experience:
Top Golf Caddy Summer 2018
YMCA Lifeguard Summers of 2016-2017
Sonic Drive-In Summers of 2014-2015
Teamwork:
Participation in sports and various teams for over 10 years. Including volleyball, lacrosse (captain), and ultimate Frisbee (captain). I enjoy learning from others, improving as a team, and accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves.
