ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant - Dissertation project

University of Louisville

• MIPAV & image-j were used for images processing including cropping, noise removal, contrast enhancement, Masking, Boolean, conversion to binary, and morphology.

• Mimics/3-Matic were used for thresholding, region growing, creating 3D surface, meshing quality optimization, and then exporting input file for FEA.

• FEA was applied via Abaqus to simulate bone behaviors, and then validate results with experimental results

• MTS machine was used experimentally for applying boundary and loading conditions over the bone with strain gauges to obtain specific measurements. Student Assistant Sep/2015 – Apr/2016
