  Responsible for leading simulation at Alcon and finding new areas where simulation would significantly accelerate product innovation and development processes. -- Work with product design group & delivery system group to accelerate going from several concepts to optimized design for new platforms. -- Ultrasert & Panoptix launched in one year which normally takes two to three years. Expected to produce 150 million of dollars of revenue in a year … Show more Responsible for leading simulation at Alcon and finding new areas where simulation would significantly accelerate product innovation and development processes. -- Work with product design group & delivery system group to accelerate going from several concepts to optimized design for new platforms. -- Ultrasert & Panoptix launched in one year which normally takes two to three years. Expected to produce 150 million of dollars of revenue in a year --Work with testing group to develop fixtures and instrumentation, to automate data collection which is needed to build better simulation models --Work with all acquired companies to develop new products to be launched in the market place. --Work with process group to optimize processes to improve yields Work with Google to guide the design & simulation of Google X contact lens as well as IOL with glucose sensor- a multi-Billion dollar market. Support simulation needs of Surgical R &D as well as manufacturing sites in Huntington & Cork Work with external companies/universities to develop new technology for accomodative IOL, next generation delivery system, breakthrough technology, cryogenic machining, etc. Determine the hardware, software and resources needed to enhance our simulation infrastructure so that it can be used for both product and process optimization. Developed road map for global Alcon to use simulation results for submission to FDA for design verification. This would save 85 days & $9 million per launch Developed the right mix of internal clusters and external cloud to increase high performance computing efficiency at a lower cost. This would accelerate the design-simulation loop. Co-authored a patent Accommodative, curvature changing intraocular lenses United States 20160157996 Working with Ansys to develop an enterprise contract for using Ansys software across 5 sites of Novartis.

Improved PDP by 30% & Innovation by 9X Collaborated with other companies and universities to develop new breakthrough technology with a market potential of more than billion dollars per year. Performed value stream mapping & gap analysis of IOL R & D process from concept to launch & determined how to reduce total time by an average of 30% for incremental projects and identified areas where new technology can be implemented. Supported 2X initiative to double the number of products in the pipeline. Team filed 18 patent applications for next generation IOL. Took the initiative to collaborate with Irvine Technical Center and created FEA Center of Excellence so that we can leverage expertise in FEA across both divisions. Responsible for leading research, design, simulation, prototyping & development from concept to launch of all intraocular lens (IOL) and support after launch.. Successfully integrated three independently operating product development groups into a cross- Functional (Mechanical, Electronics, Materials, Surgical, Biology & Bio-Medical) highly efficient single unit capable of developing a wide range of products spanning from incremental to breakthrough products. Tripled team size to 18 FTE (PhDs, 3 Associate Directors & Engineers Achieved 100X improvement in computational speed by building a 128 core high performance computing cluster. Working on implementing cloud computing to further improve speed. Team filed 18 patent applications, Co-authored 2 patent application Winner of "Spend Smart Challenge". My idea was selected among 1000 + ideas submitted by Novartis employees all across the globe. Idea will save the company $2 Million per year Represented Alcon on expert panel at Ansys symposium on Advanced Material System in 2013 in Arlington, TX Presented " Simulation Driven Engineering at Alcon IOL R&D" at 2014 IEEE symposium on Medical Devices in Richardson, TX
