Research Assistant (2011-2012)

"My internship with CIRP was spent as a research assistant working under the guidance of Thomas Seacrist, MBE on pediatric biomechanics research. Our area of study focused on head and spinal kinematics of pediatric volunteers. My primary responsibility was to analyze data gathered by low-speed sled tests using motion analysis software. I am now finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree as a senior at Rowan University. My current research project, 'Origami Engineering,' is centered around developing a curing method to create one contiguous rubber sheet containing multiple magnetic poles. Working at CIRP has improved my networking and communication skills, expanded my field of knowledge, and inspired me to research new and upcoming areas of study that will benefit the world."
