OBJECTIVE: To obtain a pivotal position with a vanguard medical device technology company whereby I will be
able to utilize and further develop my skills as a biomechanics engineer, complementing my current role as an
instructor translating the daVinci S/Si and dV-Trainer modules to the future surgical residents and established
surgeons.
WORK EXPERINCE:
Calhoun Research Laboratory under the auspices of Dr. Eric Jenison at Akron General Medical Center
(AGMC), Akron, OH 8/11- present
 Prompted the new dV-Trainer simulator by training the surgical staff physicians at AGMC
o augmented the program and previous lab settings
o contributed to language for grant proposal for lab development
 Evolved the seed application for the grant
o adding the material and methods
o obtaining provisions for material
 Established a structure for a judicial distribution of the funds
o purchasing
o salaries
o awarding the novice surgery residents
 Benchmarked a protocol for current center utilization of the daVinci S surgical robot
o created a suture platform to enable ambidextrous suturing allowing for qualification of surgery
development with continuous use
o utilizing experienced daVinci users to evaluate new protocol
 Opened the program to early adaptors
o personally recruiting surgical physicians
o on site tours and interaction with the simulator
o fostered continued interest
o enrolling and scheduling
o overseeing their developmental instructions
 Evaluate the effectives of converting simulated training to full-scale adaptation to robotic surgery
o evaluating baseline initial competence to the project end step skill (using time as a metric)
 Future Goal
o analyzing the results and present them to surgical boards to obtain accreditation and
standardization of simulated training for robotic surgical methods
Individual Development of Research at AGMC, Akron OH 5/10-8/11
