I am a patent professional with a background in biomedical engineering and almost two decades experience as a patent examiner in the field of medical technology. My areas of expertise are patent prosecution, patent searching and patent information.
Outside of my professional activities, I am an aspiring independent scholar. My research interests are multidisciplinary in nature and lie in the fields of intellectual property information and biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on patent mining and analysis, patent information retrieval, patent classification, biomedical signal and data processing, and biomedical instrumentation and measurements. My additional research interests include the history of intellectual property and the history of technology.
When I am not working or researching, I enjoy running trails and ultra marathons, undertaking outdoor adventures, and exploring the world.
