  Brookhaven National Laboratory

  Jun 2010 - Jan 2010

  Intern Researcher

  Researched the influence of micro-structure on the thermoelectric properties of bismuth telluride doped with antimony. Fabricated thermoelectric materials with differing micro-structures and measured their efficiency using a Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System. Results and conclusions were presented to resident physicists.

  Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

  Jan 2011 - May 2012

  Research Engineer

  Contributed to the research & developed a novel research device to study the effects of cyclic bending on rodent spines at varying frequencies and magnitudes. This project was sponsored by Dr. James Itradis, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and was tasked to a team comprised of myself and three other colleague engineers. R&D of this project lasted for a time frame of approximately ~1 year.During this time frame, I developed and programmed a mechanical electronics system using the Arduino hardware platform. In addition, a user-friendly graphics user interface to control the device. Dynamic behavior of this mechanical system was analyzed using MATLAB image processing techniques.This functional prototype was presented and delivered to the sponsor at the end of the R&D time frame. The sponsor expressed satisfaction and a desire to continue this device's development. Mostrar menos

  Weill Cornell Medicine

  Jun 2011 - Jan 2012

  Computational Researcher

  Researched the dynamic behavior of syntaxin, a membrane protein that may be involved in a multitude of mental sicknesses, during signal transduction through MARTINI parameter molecular dynamics simulations. Developed TCL-based scripts to analyze simulated behaviors.

  The City College of New York

  Jan 2012 - Jan 2014

  Biomedical Engineering Mentor

  Simultaneously managed multiple (up to 6) teams of undergraduate Biomedical Engineering senior students tasked with solving healthcare issues proposed by clients based in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, City College Of New York, and New York University.Students were instructed to construct functional prototypes to remedy the problems posed by the clients within the time frame of a year using limited resources. Within this time frame, I provided teams with guidance on product management, design inputs, and R&D.Each team presented a final functional prototype that inspired their clients to continue the project further. One project is currently patent pending. Mostrar menos
