My job included providing production support, working on design / process updates, and qualifying said updates. In my production support role, I worked with plants involved in manufacturing the components for our device, including polymer and metal processing plants, as well as helping our device assembly team in a clean room environment. Many of my projects involved component or fixture design updates which rely on CAD technical skills, prototype and debug phases, and production implementation. Process updates often accompany design updates to increase yield, decrease cost, or otherwise streamline the process. All updates undergo standard qualification procedures.

STARS Program

• UC San Diego

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

  The Summer Training Academy for Research Success (STARS) is a program at UC San Diego to help undergraduates on their path to graduate school. The main component of this program was research. I worked in the Christman lab of the Bioengineering department. My project involved using an injectable hydrogel derived from decellularized skeletal muscle as a delivery system for siRNA to encourage revascularization in areas affected by peripheral artery disease.
