RELATED EXPERIENCE Zimmer, Inc. Master’s Research/Intern Developed mechanical model for trabecular bone of proximal tibia and identified potential materials for use as a bone analog material in biomechanical testing. Incorporated research to design new testing protocols based on data in studies. Developed a mathematical model to represent the cortical bone thickness of the distal femur. Washington State University Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program Developed design of experiment for ceramic-metal alloys, performed research and studied the resulting mechanical properties. Baxter Healthcare Corporation Cooperative Education Engineering Designed plant-wide intranet based Access® database for improving maintenance, production and safety concerns in molding of plastic components.
