Work Experience

• Research Engineer, Bose Corporation, Framingham, MA. June 2012 - Nov 2019

• Developed of two pass method to make micro transducer suspension. Characterized transducers using PSV and transducer measurements. Designed and performed FEA simulations for thermoplastic material selection and resonance modes to develop an injection moldable plastic bobbin-piston part for new micro transducer. Engaging vendors to verify part fill from simulation and procured tooling and production quote. Five patents are granted in this effort.

• Verification of multi-wavelength PPG sensor for accuracy and suitability with MATLAB.

• Conceived and prototyped a wearable using commercial parts to detect user gestures. Developed python program for gesture signal recording, user input motion video capture image analysis, and further correlation analysis of gestures. Performed benchmarking of externally available competitive gesture products. Three patents application submitted.

• Developed electromechanical characterization for conductive polymers.

• Developed of DMA based experimental technique to quantify silicone shrinkage to obtain model parameter affecting transducer stiffness.

• Confirmed barely audible ticks noise source from tiny capacitors using laser velocimetry for an in-ear sleep product. Demonstrated capacitor bending to striking PCB as noise source.

• Involved in development of material characterization method to measure high frequency modulus and damping for stiffness ranging from paper to skin soft silicones.

• Measured Poisson’s ratio for various plastic materials for portable product using Instron and DIC for input to FEA modeling.

• Postdoctoral Research Fellow, ORNL, Oak Ridge,TN. Nov 2010 - May 2012 Fretting wear is a complex phenomena which still causes 70% of nuclear fuel leaks in pressurized water reactors. I designed a high fidelity simulation scheme bringing together reactor design, material degradation simulations, and wear trigger event simulations for spot 1 of 2
