Relevant Experience & Accomplishments
Research: Collection of Anthropometric Information for Fire Apparatus Design and Standards Update
•November 2008-August 2012
•Phase I: Collected traditional anthropometry/FARO measurements, 3-Dimensional head scans, 3-Dimensional foot scans and 2-Dimensional hand scans on 951 firefighters across four geographical locations.
•Phase II: Collected traditional anthropometry, 3-Dimensional full body scans, cab space design modeling and 3-Dimensional hand scans.
•Currently finalizing analysis and report.
Research: Rule of Nines
•October 2009-Present
• Utilized 3-Dimensional full body scans of three different populations to determine if a-typical growth would have an effect or discredit the Rule of Nines for burn treatment.
•Currently finalizing analysis and article.
Research: Pilot Study of Firefighter Three-Dimensional Anthropometry to Improve Seatbelt Safety
•May 2007-November 2008
•Utilized traditional anthropometry techniques and 3-dimensional full body scanning technology to record measurements on 120 firefighters.
•The gathered information was presented to NIOSH and the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation to improve firefighter safety.
Research: Total Hip Arthroplasty
•September 2007-January 2009
•Completed research on the Total Hip Arthroplasty under Dr. Tarun Goswami.
•Studied the size, shape and components of present total hip replacement designs to determine which elements would cause a higher probability of dislocation in patients.
•Designed six new total hip replacements that were perceived as having a reduced probability of dislocation.
•Presented findings of this research at two conferences, including the BioOhio poster conference.
Research: Using 3-D Scanning to Quantify Burn Scars
•May 2007- present
•Completed research on the use of using 3-D scanning technology in order to quantify burn scars under Jennifer Whitestone and Dr. Ruby Mawasha.
•Utilized 3-D head scanning technology to perform 3-D scans therefore providing accurate information to develop burn masks for patients to help promote healing and by decreasing hypertrophic developments to burn area, quantify burn color, burn size, patient mobility and patient rotation over the course of a twenty-four month period for each patient.
•Presented findings of this research at the DESS poster conference.
