Continuing my work after the Veranex acquisition of Ximedica of applying my mechanical engineering, fluid, and thermal sciences knowledge to biomedical engineering problems. Frequently help others with simulations of various systems - working on becoming a company Subject Matter Expert (SME) in computational modeling Select projects • Early-stage qPCR concept o Worked on the thermal module, whose performance was equal or exceeded current market qPCR systems of similar size • Neonatal device for jaundice o Worked on updating neonate medical device to maintain performance while scaling down size o Lead thermal analysis and testing of neonate device • Large electromechanical diagnostics device o Lead CFD effort for device, ranging from analyzing clean room characteristics of internal volume and heat analysis of systems to optimizing flow cells and manifold design for Clean in Place (CIP) with integrated various sensors • Endoscopic retrieval device o Analyzed current functionality and developed testing procedures as the design was finalized for Design Validation (DV) testing, including creating drawings for test fixtures to be used
