  Senior Hardware Engineer (04/2017 - 09/2021) I worked extensively on two medical devices during my time at Verily. The first was an innovative at-home blood collection device that our team developed from concept through clinical testing. The second device focused on a drug delivery platform for biologics, which exhibit very poor absorption using traditional oral dosing. I helped to drive this latter project from concept through large animal trials as the group lead for Fabrication… Show more Senior Hardware Engineer (04/2017 - 09/2021) I worked extensively on two medical devices during my time at Verily.

Underlying our work was an electrochemical method to rapidly modulate pH in a localized, on-demand fashion, which we demonstrated at far higher precision and accuracy than literature reports: a pH ranging from 4-10 could be established with ~15µm spatial resolution and sustained for 30+ minutes with ~0.1pH precision (Lab on a Chip, 2016). This platform was further developed to incorporate closed-loop control, extending performance to 2 pH/s, ±0.004 pH precision, and sustaining microenvironments to within ±0.0012 pH for 2+ hrs (Analytical Chemistry, 2022). In addition to technical work, I periodically consulted for the Robert Bosch Venture Capital team and gained experience with Bosch Project Management.

  During my thesis work, I developed core competencies in designing and implementing complex microfluidics devices to enable functional assays. I also developed several complementary skillsets to enable total automation, including significant expertise in Solidworks, extensive software development for data analysis and instrument control, and functional competencies in electronics design and image analysis.

I also developed several complementary skillsets to enable total automation, including significant expertise in Solidworks, extensive software development for data analysis and instrument control, and functional competencies in electronics design and image analysis. Using this skillset, I developed strategies for highly parallel, quantitative protein sensing. By coupling optical detection methods with PDMS-based microfluidics, our team enabled dozens of rapid, simultaneous protein measurements from patient fingerprick blood samples (Nature Biotech 2008). We further extended our platform to perform multi-protein assays from single cells in a massively-parallel fashion (Nature Medicine 2011) using a microarraying technique I developed (Chem Phys Chem 2010). I spent significant additional effort creating hardware and software to automate multistep microfluidic processing, and was able to reduce our blood analysis chip to "one-touch" operation for use by hospital nurses. I also independently designed, built, and programmed a unique 4 DOF robot that sequentially interfaced with and delivered fluids to multiple microfluidics chips for our patterning platform (Rev Sci Instr 2011).
