PROJECTS
DYNAMIC LAPAROSCOPIC KIDNEY COOLING DEVICE
SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT 2012
Worked to create the first medical solution to prevent warm ischemia during a partial nephrectomy laparoscopic kidney surgery. The
device creates a state of hypothermia in the kidney, protecting it from infection, while critically providing the surgeon with 500% more
time (from just 30 minutes to an incredible 2.5 hours) to perform the operation.
EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT

Worked with the local community to plan, fund, and fix a flooding problem in a garden dedicated to September 11 victims. Created an

and prevent runoff water from flooding the garden.
