What’s the most interesting Medical Device project you’ve worked on and why?

A pulse oximeter that flew as part of an experiment on Discovery. Why? Because it flew on Discovery and because it was a small focused team that completed the project object to a successful outcome and a trip to NASA to watch it launch at night.

If you could work on any type of medical device project, what would it be and why would you want to work on it?

Disabilities engineering because most people are disabled at some point in their lives and there are many technological opportunities that make a positive impact. I learned a lot about the disabled communities during the development of an electronic voting machine, especially that they want to be able to do what other non-disabled people can do. The voting machine accommodated people with disabilities. Also learned that everyone will be disabled at some point in his or her lives, and devices can have a significant impact.
