PROJECTS
Nullspace VR, Commercializing New Technologies August 2015 – December 2015
Working with Nullspace VR at the University of Rochester, New York to develop a commercialization strategy by identifying two viable and attractive markets for their technology and look at their advantage in each market, size the market available to the client and evaluate the competition, and assess entry and adoption barriers. Also helping by looking at customer discovery and validation, market sizing, competitive analysis and business model development and vetting for Nullspace VR.
ViRhably, Clinical Bioengineering and Prototyping January 2015 – December 2015
Working to address the identified deficiencies in how biofeedback is currently presented to patients, we propose integrating a training system with a visualization rig that would enclose the patient’s entire field of view.
Magneto, Medical Product Development January 2015 – April 2015
Collaborating with a group of students and PhD in the Dental School at the University of Pittsburgh to help them get their medical product (biodegradable dental barrier membrane) FDA approved and then marketed.
Blinking Lights Game, Computer Science November 2014 – December 2014
Game was created in labview where my group and I got an Arduino to talk to the labview code, which ran the game. The game was essentially a guessing in which the person had to pick the set or number of light which they thought would turn on.
