Portfolio
Expérience professionnelle
Postdoctoral Researcher at Boston Scientific and AMBER
Trinity College Dublin
Jan 2025 - Dec 2025 • 11 mos
This work, following from my PhD, aimed to deliver a commercial tool for the design and optimisation of bespoke bioinspired, 3D-printed, polymer heart valve leaflets using finite element modelling and design of experiments.
Postgraduate Researcher
Boston Scientific
Sep 2020 - Jan 2025 • 4 yrs 4 mos
My PhD work, partnered with Boston Scientific, focused on the optimisation of bioinspired polymer heart valve leaflets for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements (TAVR) using additive manufacturing and finite element modelling. In this project, I lead the development of native tissue-informed fibre reinforced polymer heart valve leaflets. I created a computational framework using finite element modelling and Design of Experiments (DOE) to direct design and optimisation of a melt electrowritten (MEW) fibre reinforcement structure embedded within an elastomeric material.
Co-op Student
Medtronic
Jan 2020 - Aug 2020 • 7 mos
Co-op student working on new TAVR technologies. In this position I lead a feasibility assessment of a novel device, developing new test methods to assess its function and collaborating with team members and other engineers to achieve the best possible design. This work was showcased at Medtronic's internal European Science and Technology conference. I also helped organise and run a weekly department-wide event to stimulate innovation upon a switch to working from home due to COVID-19.
