Interests
Surgical Robotics Mechanical Design CADProjects
Semi-Automatic Micro Cell Injection Oct 2016 – Oct 2017
Worked as a Team Lead Mechanical on the Micro Cell Injection project. My key responsibilities are to manage and guide the team of mechanical engineers towards the design, analysis and manufacturing of novel micro manipulators.
Laparoscopic Surgical Simulator Apr 2014 – Mar 2015
My initial responsibilities were to design, analyze and simulate the proof-of-concept. For practical implementation, we closely worked with a team of medical doctors and successfully commercialized the product.
Tele Surgical Robotic Platform for Laparoscopic Surgery Feb 2013 – Apr 2014
Project Tele Surgical Robot and Simulator (TSRS) was a government funded research project. My responsibilities was to Design, Model, Simulate and Manufacture the 6 DOF Surgical Robotic Arm. It was a complex mechatronic project and needed close coordination with multidisciplinary team.
