Bio

I am a patent professional and a biomedical engineer. I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biomedical engineering and medical physics, and I have two decades experience as a patent examiner in the field of medical technology.

My main area of expertise and interests revolves around intellectual property rights, with an emphasis on intellectual property protection in the medical device industry, patent information and analysis, and historical intellectual property rights. Furthermore, my other interests lie broadly in biomedical engineering, with a current focus on health and fitness tracking.

When I am not doing all the above, I enjoy outdoor and endurance sports, especially trail and ultra running.
