EXPERIENCE:

Teaching Assistant for Medical Robotics, NJIT Newark, NJ July–August 2013

• Organized activities to promote physical, mental, and social development

• Presented subject matter to students, graded tests, observed student’s performance and recorded their progress

• Mentored about career planning based on individual strengths and interests

Children’s Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Hospital Bialystok, PL June–August 2005

Intern

• Organized group meetings with goal of reducing risks of future injuries

• Improved patient quality care by minimizing waiting time for hospital services, communicating with patients about

possible delays, ensuring physical and emotional wellbeing

• Organized children’s activities, games and group exercises

• Observed various surgeries such as arthroscopy and spine surgery

PROJECTS:

Heart Monitoring Project – Challenge: to develop and commercialize novel monitoring system. Produced development

plan, specifying human, financial and physical resource requirements for project completion. Assessed key technical

(human and environmental) challenges, and contributed to marketing assessment. Developed medical device able to

efficiently measure blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, provide the user with exercise regimen specific for their current heart

condition and monitor post-exercise heart measurements in order to evaluate any risks for the future.

Cancer Cell Targeting Project – Challenge: to engineer and test for feasibility a protein that will selectively bind to

cancer cells. Upon activation protein will release free oxygen or ozone, which alkalizes and destroys cancer cells.

Developed non-toxic cancer treatment that destroys cancer cells but doesn’t harm healthy cells.

Orthopedic Implant Projects – Challenge: to develop 3D models of total hip and total knee replacement using Creo

Parametric 2.0 Software. Performed finite element analysis and located internal stresses for knee implant. Utilized

materials currently in surgical use, such as SL316 and ceramic for hip replacement and Ti6Al4V and UHMW

Polyethylene for knee replacement. Designed implant that withstand given load conditions, assure kinematic

restoration, long term fixation and long term performance.
