Experience

1. Senior Biomedical Enginner

   Medtronic

   Jan 2024 — Present · Los Angeles, CA, US

   Lead the development of a COMSOL-based electrochemical multiphysics model to simulate CGM system behavior, reducing experimental iteration cycles through DOE-driven simulation and data-informed design decisions.Design and execute in-vitro single-layer and multi-layer studies to extract electrochemical, transport, and material parameters, integrating experimental results into system-level simulations for model calibration and validation.Develop and validate in-vitro test methods to quantify temperature and environmental effects on device performance, strengthening model robustness and supporting design risk assessment.Apply statistical methods including DOE, OFAT, regression modeling, and curve fitting to correlate in-vitro and clinical-adjacent data with simulation outputs, improving model predictability and confidence in design trade-offs.
