PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Tissue Mechanics Lab, University of Connecticut Storrs, CT, USA

Research Assistant 09/2012 05/30/2014

• Designed the catheter based transapical delivery system for the prosthetic mitral valve from

concept development, layout, 3D models, FEA analysis, 2D drawings to prototype using

SolidWorks, Hypermesh and Abaqus through the design control process including design

review and design verification; Written protocols and testing reports

• Led and guided machining, 3D printing, inspection, assembly of prototype, verification and

validation of the function of the catheter based delivery system. Special design for 3D printing

prototype reduces time by 30% and save cost by 40%

• Developed the stent of a bioprosthetic valve with its manufacturing system; conducted FEA

analysis

• Designed mechanical system for mitral anchor prototype

• Conducted dynamic In Vitro experiment for mitral valve

• Investigated mechanical properties of aged human and ovine mitral valve chordae tendineae

using uniaxial tensile machine with marker tracing technology and Labview data acquisition

system

• Characterized the microstructure of chordae tendineae through histology analysis

• Performed constitutive modeling using the experimental data and simulated the mitral valve

closure using CFD to determine the discrepancies between human and ovine chordal

mechanical properties
