Sam's CV

PhD - Surgery and Interventional Science, UCL, 2020 - 2024
Neck collars are commonly used by plwMND to support their head drop and compensate for muscle weakness. Off-the-shelf collars are typically designed for patients with trauma and based on one design-fits-all concept. However, this concept has very limited success even recently because individual anatomy, depending on the degree of disease progression, is extremely variable in plwMND. This innovative project aims to develop collar with embedded sensors for real-time monitoring in plwMND, to increase our understanding of disease progress and develop bespoke collars which facilities their daily activities.

Experience:

Mechanical Engineer – Schneider Electric
After completing a Year in Industry at Schneider Electric, Plymouth, I worked with them during my final year at university conducting a process redesign investigation which was used as a case study for my final year engineering project. During this time, I also worked with them on producing FMEA's, production line redesigns, Finite Element Analysis study's, process control and factory layouts.
