Research Engineer with extensive experience in modeling highly coupled non-linear systems for insight into the interaction between biological tissue and applied energy. Research investigations include interactions electrical, ultrasonic, and other energy applications, heat transfer, phase transitions, and structural or molecular protein changes in the biological tissue. These coupled simulations are used to predict surgical effects for energy based medical devices through predictions of cutting rate, hemostasis levels, associated thermal damage, structural deformations and cooling effectiveness. Experimental validation of the simulation results are collected through in vivo and ex vivo...
