Computer-assisted navigation for shoulder surgery.
My contribution
I developed prototypes and refined the navigation system through bench testing, cadaver studies, and surgeon feedback. Observing procedures helped inform ergonomics and tracker placement.
Engineering
My work included precision CAD, tolerance analysis, design specifications, and validation protocols. I translated surgical workflow requirements into engineering decisions.
