Dedicated Senior Engineer with extensive experience of product development, R&D, and process engineering in medical device, filtration, and chemical industries. Recognized expertise in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and rheology with 10 years of experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling for medical devices, product design, and process simulation. Eight years of working and academic experience in web-handling processes and polymer synthesis, characterization, and processing. Managed and developed organizational capability of fluid flow modeling, visualization, and testing, cutting time-to-market and cost of prototyping and testing. Project management experience of interacting with multi-functional teams and creating and communicating plans, tasks, schedules, and deliverables. Innovative and result-oriented problem solver with strong analytical skills. Collaborative team worker and quick self-starter.
- Creating, developing, modeling, and testing technologies from concept to working prototype to production release. - Leading and managing cross-function projects to help shape ideas, to deliver new technology solutions, and to meet customer and market opportunities.
Responsible for leveraging engineering knowledge and process/product development experience to support regional accounts with significant impact on software revenue, for helping customers to solve complex engineering problems using ANSYS software products, as well as for poviding technical pre-sales support throughout the entire sales process.
• Led engineering analysis and CFD/FEA simulation in multi-million dollar new product development projects that launched two Class II medical devices in Structure Heart Perfusion business. • Managed and developed organizational capability of fluid flow modeling, visualization, and testing, cutting time-to-market and prototyping and testing costs for both new product and sustaining projects by improving design insight and increasing analysis throughput. • Contributed in a cross-functional team with project responsibility in lifecycles of product development, including VOC, DRM, conceptual design, prototyping, DOE, design verification and validation, test method development, risk/failure assessment, manufacturing transfer, and commercialization. • Provided consulting services for projects across the company, including drug-eluting stents, portable dialysis devices, coagulation diagnostics, and microfluidic technology, ensuring project decisions were made based on accurate technology evaluation.
• Led filtration solution projects including design and selection of media and components, development of manufacturing processes, and product testing to launch a new oil mist filter for engine application. • Performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to predict filter performance based on element and media design parameters and contaminant properties, resulting in the development of a new pulse-cleaning technology.
