Research & Development

"I professionally demonstrate working from basic clinical needs to device concept to prototype development ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. With experience at industrial level of researching new technologies and designing solutions to develop and complement the existing product portfolio, I am able to manage project schedules, conduct product and project risk analysis. I always ensure successful and timely completion of project activities. I am also familiar working with patent counsel to support patentability/infringement searches and preparation of patent application."

Projects @UTS

Electroencephalography (EEG) based Brain Computer Interface: Motor Imagery
- Brain Interface Online Examination: Using EEG signals, an application was proposed for young people with post traumatic stress or recent accident to write exam and to eliminate the need for external assistance.
Classification of Different Heart Rhythms from Simulated ECG Signals
- Different types of generated ECG signals were processed, analysed and classified by using two different classification models. By utilising the features extracted, two classification models were trained in classification learner. One of classification model used decision tree method and the other used support vector machine (SVM) method. Demonstrated the accuracy for both models for all the ECG features.
Cardiac Patch Delivery Instrument: Development in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
- Design development of a surgical instrument that can facilitate the delivery of 3D bioprinted cardiac patch. An overview of a control system was developed to manipulate the surgical instrument to deliver the cardiac patch into the target site on the heart. The simulation results demonstrated the potential functioning of the surgical instrument that can facilitate the delivery of cardiac patch.
Development of Optical Tweezers for High Resolution Cellular Analysis
- Characterised and manipulated a single laser beam to deflect in a 2-dimensional manner using an Acoustic Optic Deflector (AOD) device. The system generated can trap small sized cells / particles such as aerosol in the form of user-defined shape or pattern.
