Work History
Biomedical Engineer Intern
Stanford Healthcare
Palo Alto
06.2025 - Current
- Collaborated across all Biomedical Engineering departments at Stanford Hospital to streamline workflows and address operational inefficiencies.
- Identified clinical gaps in the use of dialysis technologies-specifically the Thermax Blood Warmer-and partnered with the R&D team to troubleshoot performance issues and create design improvements.
- Worked alongside the data analytics team to evaluate end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-support (EOS) medical devices, structuring actionable data to guide capital equipment purchases.
- Led a device decommissioning initiative by managing the retirement of outdated Alaris Infusion tubing systems, facilitating the transition to active-use technologies.
- Gained hands-on experience collaborating with technicians, clinical and systems engineers, project managers, and clinical staff in a hospital environment.
