Biography
A B.A. in Physics from Carleton College prepares me for a progressing, professional environment. B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering followed an interdisciplinary program that now leads to degrees in Biomedical Engineering. I located in Medical Alley country in Minnesota, to participate in medical device research and development. After comprehensive, engineering experience, further graduate study emphasized R&D and medical applications, with preparation to work as a colleague of physicians. Ongoing, professional development includes activities of the IEEE, INCOSE, Altium Designer and SolidWorks vendors, and communities supporting medical product innovation startups.
