Low-compliance angioplasty balloon system
Flux PD · lead design engineer
Led the design, manufacture, and testing of a novel angioplasty balloon system, including design modifications to low-compliance balloons that minimize inflation-induced straightening. Presented at the VEITH Symposium (2019); abstract published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery.
CHARIOT clinical devices
Stanford Chariot Program · lead design engineer (Lucile Packard Children's Hospital)
Designed and manufactured devices to improve the perioperative experience of pediatric patients, adapting consumer technology for the clinical environment:
- Infection-control VR headsets — a 3D-printed replacement strap system and sanitizable foam interface for the Samsung Gear VR and HTC Vive, deployed in 40+ headsets at LPCH and adopted at other hospitals.
- Bedside Entertainment Theater (BERT) — redesigned for greater durability and lower cost through material and fabrication changes; now standard practice in the LPCH PACU.
- Ultrasound venous-access phantoms — an affordable, reusable, physiologically-relevant pediatric phantom with tissue-comparable ultrasonic properties, fabricated from a 3D-printed mold to improve placement success and reduce patient discomfort.
