Led mechanical redesign effort targeting a 4× increase in capital equipment use-life — from 250 to 1,000 surgical procedures. Drove the full engineering cycle: failure mode investigation, iterative prototyping, solution testing, and team-wide adoption across 26 mechanical engineers.

Co-led a program driving a 25% cost reduction on large capital equipment through multi-body FEA simulations, tolerance analyses, and supplier-informed design changes. Coordinated across PDO, Quality, Manufacturing, Controls, and Software teams.

Full revamp of a surgical navigation system enclosure and mechanical architecture. Achieved 40 lb weight reduction, 4× stability improvement, and 20% manufacturing cost savings. Integrated a pneumatic arm extension solution and designed a powder-coated aluminum + ABS full enclosure with contaminant protection.

First-authored research proposing a novel frame-to-frame ultrasound feature tracking algorithm requiring less manual initialization while matching Deep Neural Network accuracy. Conducted a 26-subject human study with 20+ wearable sensors. Developed a Python codebase for post-processing and tremor detection via FFT and Welch's method.

Designed a robust cycle-testing mechanical fixture for Myomo's powered orthotic system using low-cost and 3D-printed components. Modeled, 3D-printed, and redesigned 5 robotic system attachments to improve ease-of-use. Delivered a certified testing protocol covering fatigue, excessive deflection, and impact tests.
