ABOUT TRAVIS REARDON

Biomedical Engineering Master’s student-athlete with a passion for biomechanics research and medical device innovation. My academic journey at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has equipped me with hands-on experience in orthopedic biomechanics, motion capture analysis, and medical device design. From leading research on 3D-printed orthotic footwear to developing automated manufacturing systems, I thrive at the intersection of engineering and practical problem-solving. My ability to balance rigorous academics with collegiate athletics highlights my discipline, time management, and leadership under pressure.My professional experience spans both research and industry, where I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams to drive projects from concept to validation. As a researcher in the Musculoskeletal Orthopedic Biomechanics Lab, I analyzed gait mechanics, designed MATLAB programs for biomechanical data, and contributed to clinical trials. During internships at RT Engineering, I reverse-engineered machinery components, built automated machines, and improved manufacturing efficiency. My academic projects, like designing an ISO-compliant catheter Y-connector, reflect my commitment to solving real-world clinical challenges through engineering.Beyond technical skills, I bring a team-oriented mindset honed through athletics and leadership roles. Serving as a 3-year ski team captain taught me to motivate peers, manage logistics, and perform under varying conditions. I’m driven by opportunities to merge my engineering expertise with my passion for improving human performance; whether through medical devices, biomechanics research, or innovative manufacturing solutions.
