About Me
Evan graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Bioengineering in June 2018. During his undergrad he earned a position in the Pete & Rosalie Johnson internship program; working under Dr. Sandra Rugonyi (Ph.D.) at Oregon Health & Science University, working to characterize the computational flow mechanics of cardiovascular development in embryo. His second internship was in pharmaceutical research and development with Patheon (now Thermo Fisher Scientific), in Bend, OR. There he developed an optimized selection of spray-dried excipients for solid dose tablet production through his own design of experiment analysis. Upon graduation, he accepted a Research Assistant position at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; working as part of team developing a novel mechanical thrombectomy device for the removal of blood clots in ischemic stroke.
Evan is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Utah with a focus on medical device innovation and design. Evan currently works in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory under Dr. Heath Henninger, where he is studying the 3-D resting scapula position and it's implications for surgical techniques, and patient mobility pre and post-operatively.
