WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Systems Engineer (Jul 2008 - Present)
Advanced Pathology Imaging Laboratory, Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
Perform research on the design, development, and validation of pathology image processing and analysis systems using Matlab and Visual Studio. Manage state of the art microscope imaging systems (Aperio ScanScope XT digital slide scanner; Spectrum pathology PACS; Olympus BX61 Deconvolution Fluorescence Microscope with a Hamamatsu ORCA-ER CCD run by Slidebook; Olympus BX60 Widefield Fluorescence Microscope) and provide information and technology services to the faculty and residents of the department.
Bioimaging Facility Manager (Dec 2007- Jun 2008)
Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA
Operate, troubleshoot, maintain, and train users for several microscopy systems (Confocal Zeiss LSM 510 Meta; Zeiss Axiovert200M with live cell incubation chamber and CoolSNAP EMCCD run by Metamorph; Eppendorf microinjector on Nikon TE-2000). I also provided research support by programming macros for data analysis in Metamorph and ImageJ.
Research Assistant (Oct 2004 - May 2006)
Respiratory Physiology and Systems Id. Lab, Boston University College of Engineering,
Boston, MA
Programmed an algorithm that generates a 3D lung airway model using MATLAB. Designed software to personalize the 3D lung model using patient MRI images. Conducted simulations of lung mechanics.
