The BME will aim to further the contributions by developing novel simulation models for surgical training, education, and rehearsal.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

The BME will contribute towards the following roles:

• Fabricating high-fidelity hydrogel organs for surgical simulation via hydrogel injection molding
• Design and modification of computer-assisted (CAD) models form DICOM imaging files to develop generic and patient-specific renderings (i.e. vi).
• Segmentation of DICOM imaging files from C.T. and MRI into virtual renderings to create patient-specific models for preoperative surgical planning.
• Independently operate and maintain 3D printers (FDM) for printing various molds and parts for simulation models.
• Drafting of manuscripts and grants for review by Dr. Ghazi prior to submission.
