As a passionate and results-driven biomedical engineer, I am dedicated to advancing healthcare through innovative medical product development. With a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, I have honed my expertise in quality management, project management, and product design. My diverse educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Nanotechnology from Amity University, where I gained a solid foundation in device fabrication, nanomaterials, and biosensors. I possess a broad range of technical skills, from utilizing MS Excel, MATLAB, and RStudio for data analysis to applying SOLIDWORKS and Figma for design. My proficiency extends to quality and risk management methodologies such as DMAIC, Lean Manufacturing, and FMEA. Furthermore, I hold certifications in ISO 13475:2016, ISO 14971:2016, and Lean Six Sigma (green belt). In my recent project experience, I collaboratively worked on the development of the COOL-LIMB Prosthetic Limb, where my team designed and tested a cooling prosthetic liner, conducted usability assessments, and managed risk mitigation efforts. I collaborated with medical specialists and cross-functional teams, leveraging their expertise and maintaining rigorous compliance with FDA regulations. As a consultant with the UMich Project Management & Consulting Team, I partnered with a fashion company to conduct market research, refine marketing strategies, and optimize revenue models. I excelled in preparing project management tools, conducting surveys, and facilitating crucial conversations. Outside of academia, I have actively engaged in leadership roles and extracurricular activities. Being the sports captain for my department during my undergraduate studies for 3 years, helped me improvise my communication and problem-solving skills. Additionally, as a member of GradSWE, I learned and participated in valuable networking opportunities. With a proven track record of driving successful projects, leveraging technical expertise, and fostering collaboration, I am eager to contribute to cutting-edge biomedical advancements. If you are seeking a motivated and accomplished biomedical engineer with a passion for innovation, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how I can contribute to your organization's growth.
