Recent MEng Biomedical Engineering Graduate from Imperial College London

This page is a slightly abridged version of my CV, please click the button above for the full pdf version.
I recently graduated from Imperial College London with a Master's in Biomedical Engineering.
I'm a passionate problem solver with wide ranging interests, and experience with medical devices, robotics, and 3D printing.

My degree involved various modules regarding biomechanics, medical imaging, and programming, as well as a variety of opportunities for project work, both large and small. Here are some examples of projects I worked on during my course:
● A digital stethoscope.
● A raspberry pi controlled robotic model tank with a turret to fire foam pellets. (For the Pi Wars Competition)
● A bicycle pedal with live force feedback for a paraplegic athlete to use on a FES bike in the Cybathlon.
● An arm wrestling arcade game.
● Synthetic biological toggle switches.
● A volumetric infrared imaging system (VIRIS) for the diagnoses and monitoring of breast-cancer related lymphoedema.

I have experience working in both mechanical and electrical workshops, as well as in wet labs. I consider myself a 'maker' and a tinkerer and have skills in prototyping and working with microcontrollers. My experience using C++, python, and MATLAB has contributed to my ability to quickly pick up the usage of other programming languages.

I am currently looking for work so feel free to reach out and contact me about any roles you think I'm suitable for.
