Work History

Systems Scientist

Cubresa Inc.
10.2018 - 03.2024


  • Led Phantom Design Projects: Took ownership of designing phantoms for system performance evaluation, collaborating with mechanical engineers. Each design served specific purposes like calibration, quality control, or system assessment, and I consistently delivered effective designs that integrated seamlessly with our system.
  • Developed a Daily Quality Control Program: Designed a full Quality Control (QC) program, including workflow, metrics, thresholds, and storyboards. Collaborated with the software team for implementation, ensuring the program improved system stability and daily operations.
  • System Requirements Generation: Derived system requirements from high-level product specifications, utilizing analysis to translate goals like reducing imaging preparation time into actionable system requirements.
  • Authored Subsystem Segment Specifications (SSS): Independently wrote the SSS document, translating system performance goals into actionable subsystem designs. Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to ensure design alignment and compliance with specifications, resulting in optimized component integration and improved system performance.
  • Led 1-Year BrainPET Project: Managed the end-to-end development of an extended 4-ring BrainPET prototype from an existing 2-ring NuPET design. My responsibilities included redesigning the interface board between the scanner and the double DAQ chassis, coordinating firmware updates, and conducting thorough testing and analysis to ensure optimal system performance. My analysis directly supported executive decision-making and the clinical BrainPET project advancement.
  • Analytical Leadership in System Testing: Frequently took charge of system performance analysis, troubleshooting, testing of new software components, and setting operational system parameters. My analytical insights frequently uncovered key issues, such as software indexing mismatches, leading to effective resolutions. Additionally, developed python scripts to automate routine analysis, cutting hours of manual effort previously done in Excel.
  • Developed training materials and trained new employees: Created comprehensive training slides on key technical areas, which were consistently used as a go-to resource for onboarding and skill development across the team.
