MY WORK EXPERIENCE
Explore My Work
As a fairly recent graduate from Northeastern University, I've had the opportunity to complete three Co-ops. These are 6 month internship positions that take the place of classes and are invaluable when it comes to gaining engineering experience. I've got only great things to say about the companies that I've worked for and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities that they presented to a young, curious and driven engineering student like myself. I'm very proud to share my experiences and some of the projects that I've taken part in over the course of my academic and professional career. Please don't hesitate to ask questions and I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences half as much as I enjoyed gaining them.
VICARIOUS SURGICAL INC.
Mechanical Engineering Co-op
My most recent Co-op experience was with Vicarious Surgical, a growing surgical robotics start-up. My work consisted of participating in the redesign of the camera which operates within the abdominal cavity. Challenges such as maintaining image quality, thermal control and joint dexterity comprised the majority of my focus. I carried out numerous CFD simulations to regulate the camera's surface temperature and contributed heavily in redesigning our thermal management system. The engaging work and talented engineers who I worked alongside made this one of my best co-op experiences yet. Our team's results spoke for themselves and I'm extremely proud of the final product. Building a system that is capable of saving lives is extremely rewarding and I hope to see VS continue to grow.
BOSTON SCIENTIFIC
R&D Engineering Co-op, Endoscopy Division
My second Co-op experience was with Boston Scientific, a cutting-edge medical device company dedicated to making people's lives better. My work on the R&D team consisted of in-depth efforts to design methods to evaluate various aspects of a new product being designed by endoscopic engineering team. Work was extremely engaging and being able to say that my work would directly impact the health and well-being of others is a true honor.
WATERS CORPORATION
Mechanical Design Team, Liquid Chromatography Division
My first experience with real-world engineering came at Waters Corporation, a company aimed at the design and manufacturing of laboratory and research equipment. With an extremely bright and talented team by my side, I was able to gain exposure to various engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical and even chemical. I'm proud of my contribution to the company, specifically a thermistor-based leak sensor that is capable of reducing manufacturing costs and improving leak detection. This is an important part considering the extremely high fluid pressures experienced within the machines I was working with. My design not only improved the effectiveness of the machine but the safety of its user as well.
