I am a patent professional and a researcher with a background in biomedical engineering and almost two decades experience as a patent examiner in the field of medical technology. The areas of my professional expertise are patent protection for medical devices and patent search in the field of medical technologies. My research interests are multidisciplinary in nature and include biomedical engineering, intellectual property information and the history of technology. My current research activities are focused on biomedical instrumentation and measurements, biomedical signal and data processing, patent mining and analysis, and historical patents and trademarks.
When I am not working or researching, I enjoy Trail and Ultra Running.
