Patent documentation
I have contributed to four published utility patents — as a named inventor at MIT, and through invention disclosures and technical documentation at OXMAN in collaboration with researchers and patent attorneys. In each case, the work required translating primary research into precise technical language for USPTO and WIPO submission.
Quantitative design and manufacturing framework for a biomechanical interface contacting a biological body segment
Initial work completed during doctoral research at the MIT Biomechatronics Group (Prof. Hugh Herr) while in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program. This patent covers a framework for designing and manufacturing patient-specific prosthetic sockets and other human-device interfaces.
Methods and apparatus for high-resolution textile fabrication with multimaterial intelligent fibers
Prepared the invention disclosure and supporting technical documentation in collaboration with the inventing researchers and patent counsel, translating primary research on novel textile fabrication methods into detailed technical specifications for USPTO filing.
Methods and apparatus for bio-regulation and templating of plant growth
Prepared the invention disclosure and technical documentation for methods enabling precise control and templating of biological plant growth, working with research scientists to accurately represent the invention's novelty and scope in language suitable for patent prosecution.
Methods and apparatus for manufacturing articles for sampling environmental genetic material
Prepared the international patent application documentation for a novel approach to manufacturing environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling devices, requiring translation of complex molecular biology and fabrication processes into technically precise language for WIPO submission and international prosecution.
