• Leading development, evaluation, and technical integration of robotic endovascular and neurovascular medical device systems within fast-paced R&D environments. • Working across development of catheter systems, steerable device concepts, physician validation studies, thrombectomy workflows, and first-in-human readiness activities. • Collaborating cross-functionally with physicians, R&D, manufacturing, quality, and international engineering teams on product development and technical feasibility initiatives. • Supporting development of minimally invasive catheter technologies involving steerability, trackability, stiffness transitions, and procedural usability considerations. • Executing validation, process development, risk management, technical documentation, and engineering investigations within ISO 13485/FDA-regulated environments. • Contributing to simulation and AI-related engineering initiatives involving vascular flow modeling, digital twin concepts, and procedural workflow integration.

• Supported medical device manufacturing, validation, and process development activities within FDA/ISO-regulated environments. • Executed IQ/TMV studies, manufacturing investigations, engineering documentation, and cleanroom production support for medical device systems. • Collaborated with physicians, manufacturing teams, vendors, and quality groups to support device evaluation and process improvement initiatives.

Thesis: Fabrication of a bio-material coated with bio-protein for tissue engineering: • Achieved 77% better electrical properties by tuning electro-polymerization of bio-material • Improved surface roughness by 600% by researching charge density of polymerization • Saved $1600 by innovating a micro-manipulator with ability to print bio-proteins • Obtained 1.5-times better neuro-regeneration by the combined use of bio-material & proteins • Managed lab supplies for 5-chemicals for a 7-member team as the lab safety officer • Increased DRG life in a cell culture by 3-days
