Medical Device Design

This research addresses critical challenges identified within today’s healthcare system. By integrating CAD design, computational modeling, 3D printing, and direct collaboration with clinical teams, we develop targeted solutions across multiple medical disciplines. While orthopaedics remains a primary focus, past projects have also advanced innovation in gastroenterology, dermatology, and surgery. This research is further incorporated into the Yale curriculum through the BENG/MENG 404 (PMAE 529) course, offered each spring, which provides an opportunity to expand upon projects initiated during the preceding summer.
