RESEARCH

Thesis: Computational modelling of hemodynamics of cerebral aneurysms with novel FRED stent design

Performed a literature review of intracranial aneurysms (aka cerebral aneurysms) for relevant anatomical and physiological factors, as well as statistics.

Selected a well-validated modelling program, thereby negated the need to validate results

Applied a mesh where results were independent of the mesh element sizes.

Used in iterative approach to better understand how the geometry of proposed novel FRED stent alter blood flow (6 models, 3 single layered, and 3 double-layered with the later based on the proposed geometry of novel FRED)

Considered defining flow with either Navier-Stokes equations or by defining boundary conditions; selected later as not enough data was obtained for NS while boundary conditions were easily defined.

Ran multiple simulations to ensure results fell into acceptable error range.

Analyzed results, focusing on pressure, velocity, shear-stress, and other physiological factors.

Conclusions included a tentative ‘this stent geometry may be the best, but further investigation is needed.’ This was followed by proposed future steps.

Senior Project: Easy Vein Finder

Project Design Review (PDR)

Communicated with the client bi-weekly to discuss progress, define project goals, requirements, and specifications; gained an understanding of the client’s problem by reviewing patents and appropriate literature.

Proposed numerous solutions, performed feasibility test, execute merit test to identify best option; defined the steps of the chosen option and authored a white paper detailing the process.

Critical Design Review (CDR)

Interfaced with client to discuss progress, goals, requirements, and wants; teamed with advisor, focusing on technical problems and possible solutions.

Designed a simple, cost-effective device that identified near-surface subcutaneous veins.

Built sample electronic circuits necessary to medical devices using self-created designs.

Gained approval by Internal Review Board (IRB) for testing of device with human subjects.

Analyzed test results and authored a second white paper recapping 1st phase and discussing finding of current phase

Presented findings.

Biomechanics Project

Worked collaboratively to analyze how various knee brace styles affected one’s gait.

Researched how materials found in a home improvement store could be used to simulate muscles.

Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Conducted research to discover two possible methods of organ replacement that could reduce/eliminate the need for immunosuppressant medication; determined the more viable solution and suggested a timeline for development.

oThe first method was decellularizing a donated organ and re-cellularizing the organ with the recipients’ stem cells.

oThe second in 3D printing a new organ, again with the recipients own stem cells.

Concluded that both have merit and strengths, but that a timeframe could not be given until the stem cells in vascular/lymphatic systems differentiate with the correct polarity.
