AKSHIT MONGA
Biomedical Engineering graduate pursuing an Electrical & Computer Engineering Master's soon. I combine software and hardware to improve how we interact with medical devices. Deeply interested in Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neurotech.
Professional Experience
Ascend Clinical · Eurofins
Medical Laboratory Assistant
- Ran daily testing and QC in a CLIA-regulated clinical lab, processing 200+ patient samples per day across multiple assay platforms
- Managed LIMS documentation for 500+ samples weekly — tracked problem accessions, flagged deviations, and coordinated corrective actions
- Worked across departments and with Boston Heart Diagnostics to resolve missing tests and optimize sample shipping logistics
- Set up automated instruments and troubleshot hardware issues to maintain testing continuity
Jabil Circuit, Inc.
R&D Engineering Intern
- Built an AI-powered Design for Excellence (DfX) knowledge system that cut engineering design review time by 87%
- Engineered the full RAG pipeline from scratch: Python, LangChain, ChromaDB, and GPT-4o, trained on 500+ pages of internal manufacturing docs
- Designed the semantic search layer using OpenAI embeddings and RetrievalQA to surface machine-specific constraints
- Validated with real manufacturing engineers through controlled benchmarks — consistently showed 70%+ time savings
- Gained formal lab training in R&D instrumentation, experimental design (DOE), SOPs, and data management
Technical Projects & Research
BioMEMs Prosthetic Hand
open sourceEMG-controlled prosthetic hand using MyoWare biosensors and Arduino. Real-time signal processing drives servo motors for individual finger actuation — 85%+ classification accuracy.
AI Chatbot for Design Manufacturability
closed sourceBuilt a RAG-based AI assistant at Jabil that slashed design review times by up to 87%. Trained on 500+ pages of internal manufacturing docs, deployed on Azure with Teams integration.
Coronary Stent Design & FEA
open sourceDesigned three stent geometries in SolidWorks and ran non-linear FEA in ANSYS. Compared nitinol vs. Ti-6Al-4V for fatigue life, fabricated prototypes via resin printing.
PFA Catheter Design & Research
closed sourceResearched and designed a novel Pulsed Field Ablation catheter for atrial fibrillation. Interviewed cardiologists and R&D engineers to develop a flower-configuration with contact-force sensing.
Microneedle Insulin Delivery
open sourceSimulated microneedle-based insulin delivery in COMSOL, optimizing needle geometry and modeling drug diffusion kinetics. Validated with 3D-printed prototypes in agarose tissue analogs.
Finger Prosthesis Assembly
open sourceOne of my first CAD assemblies — modeled every component from scratch with variable sizing for different finger dimensions. A foundational project I want to revisit at a higher fidelity.
