Summary Experiences in MATLAB programming of Parameter Estimation

Analysis with using Unscented Kalman Filter and theories in

Robotics with Dynamics. Working for the medical device industry

for more than 10 years and has been responsible for the

development and testing of minimally invasive surgery approach,

spinal fusion constructs, and dynamic system for human spine..

Academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical

Engineering from Kyounghee University, Seoul, South Korea, a

Master of Science and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering,

specializing in Robotics and Dynamics from University of Florida

in Gainesville, Florida.

The author of five peer-reviewed publications, eleven issued

U.S. patents and ten pending U.S. patents. Out of those patents,

seventeen patents are also applied internationally.

Specialties:

. Parameter Estimation (Unscented Kalman Filter)

. Robotics and Dynamics

. Human Spinal Motion

. Dynamic Implants

. Mechanism Analysis

Experience Custom Spine, Inc.

October 2012 - Current Engineering Fellow

and Founding Partner, Parsippany, NJ

As an engineering fellow, Conduct and execute the development of

percutaneous surgical instruments using current SECURIS implant.

Observe and evaluate current implants and instruments and

enhance those to the higher quality level.

Extend the SECURIS system to be adopted to open surgeries. Those

new conceptual trials will position the SECURIS system to be

universal system (open, mini-open, and percutaneous system).

August 2007 - October 2012 Principal Research Engineer and

Founding Partner, Parsippany, NJ

As a principal research engineer, develop new concept of dynamic

screw systems, dynamic interbody, and Mini-Open Surgeries.
