PROJECTS

Assessment of toxin-induced airway injury and therapeutic effects in a rat model by optical coherence tomography ANSYS, MATLAB, Probe Based OCT, R Statistics https://bit.ly/2RmZ9dS Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to quantify the healing effect of Nitro Oleic Acid on Methyl Isocyanate exposed rats. Optical Coherence Tomography was used to get images to create a volume which was then put into ANSYS to simulate air flow. The air resistance across the rat's trachea was calculated using the simulation data and the effectiveness of the treatment was able to be quantitively proven.

Virtual Vaginal Biopsy using Optical Coherence Tomography SolidWorks, Formlabs Form 2, MATLAB Designing and 3D printing probe to allow volumetric imaging of the vagina with use of OCT. Tissue layers were then quantified with dynamic programming to determine layer thickness. Probe had to be easy to produce and created from cheap materials due to their one time use nature per patient. Probe design was constantly iterated on in order to achieve highest image quality and ease of manufacturing.
