Work History

R&D Engineer I – Electrophysiology Access Solution

Boston Scientific
06.2024 - Current


  • Co-developed the VersaHub EP Generator, a next-gen RF platform intended to replace the 100A unit, focused on architecture validation, system-level integration, and electrical safety.


  • Created a physical benchtop simulation model using electrical components and SOLIDWORKS for septal puncture procedures—mimicking transcatheter access routes and valve placement workflows—reducing reliance on preclinical animal studies; model under patent/trade secret evaluation. Received a recognition prize across the company for this design.


  • Created a physical benchtop simulation model using SOLIDWORKS and electrical components for septal puncture procedures—mimicking transcatheter access routes and valve placement workflows—reducing reliance on preclinical animal studies; model under patent/trade secret evaluation.


  • Collected real-time puncture procedure data from the benchtop model and pre-clinical lab studies, including voltage, current, and impedance data via oscilloscope and generator logs.


  • Analyzed procedure data using MATLAB to extract signal profiles, identify failure points, and support design iteration of catheter wires and access components.


  • Co-designed and bench tested a novel catheter-based access wire; contributed to optimization of electrical and mechanical design parameters for safe and effective septal puncture. Design under patent evaluation.


  • Collaborated cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and quality teams to align test coverage with system requirements. Supported physician demonstration models and contributed to post-commercialization usability testing.
