Marketing Chair
- Coordinate logistics and scheduling for workshops and networking events, facilitating continuous professional development for local quality and regulatory professionals in Ottawa.
- Execute targeted promotional communications to drive society engagement.
R&D Intern
- Spearheaded the development and implementation of an EU MDR (2017/745) compliant regulatory framework for the pre-market approval of an ongoing Class III hip and knee implant project.
- Developed a project-specific QMS framework, streamlining traceability and cross-functional workflows between R&D, manufacturing, and compliance bodies for audit readiness.
- Executed regulatory gap analysis across 21+ harmonized standards, validating the biological safety, mechanical endurance, and material properties of early-stage prototypes.
- Formulated strategic action plans for development teams, effectively mitigating compliance risks and defining the roadmap for future product approval.
Biomedical Engineering Trainee
- Executed Quality Assurance (QA) protocols on Varian TrueBeam and Clinac Linear Accelerators, ensuring radiation safety compliance and operational accuracy.
- Verified radiotherapy treatment simulations and planning using Varian Eclipse.
- Supported the clinical execution of Brachytherapy, X-Ray, CT, and MRI procedures.
- Validated the performance and safety of critical care systems, including ECGS, CTGs, patient monitors, and hospital medical gas infrastructure through quality checks and supply documentation.
Master's Thesis
- Developed a general and project-specific market approval strategy for academia-developed medical devices to bridge the gap between research prototypes and regulatory compliance.
- Structured an ISO 13485-aligned QMS streamlined for academia-led medical device design and development teams.
- Designed a risk management system based on ISO 14971 containing implant-specific potential hazards, including FMEA and risk assessment.
- Created a verification and validation plan ensuring valid scientific evidence for future conformity assessments.
Bachelor's Thesis
- Analyzed over 40 clinical CT, MRI, and PET/CT cases to compare spatial, contrast, and temporal resolution for cancer detection.
- Compared the diagnostic capabilities of the above three imaging modalities to determine the best performance for lung, breast, brain, and metastatic cancer detection.
- Produced cost, performance, and image-quality comparison to guide efficient modality selection in cancer diagnosis.
Strategic Regulatory Analysis of EU MDR vs. CMDR
Conducted a comparative analysis of the EU MDR and CMDR (SOR/98-282) framework to identify pre-market and post-market compliance distinctions. Evaluated structural QMS divergences, contrasting Canada's MDSAP and MDL/MDEL mandates against the EU's Notified Body conformity assessments. Demonstrated insights on approval timelines, clinical evaluations, and vigilance to guide global market-entry pathways.
Cost-Effective Dual-Function Foot Orthosis
Designed a dual-purpose orthotic sole to treat Bunion and Flat Foot. Developed a functional prototype and conducted user testing for design improvement. Validated biomechanical performance through gait analysis and optimized the design for cost-effectiveness.
