The Future of Medical Device Innovations

Talk: “The Future of Medical Device Innovations”. There is a large demand for Medical Device Innovations right now, due to the “Baby Boomer” population reaching an age where the number of people facing health issues is at an all-time high. There are many areas in the medical industry that could use the help of newer, better designed, more efficient, and innovative devices. The presentation will go over the most in-demand medical devices at this time. In particular, the talk will explore the area of nuclear medical devices for more immediate profit and notoriety.

Speaker: Dr. Daniel Swanson has been in the Engineering Field since the year 2006. He has had multiple positions as a Design Engineer, Field Service Engineer, Project Engineer, R&D Engineer, and even Nuclear Engineer. All of his education was based out of the Madison, Wisconsin area, where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in 2004 and a Master’s Degree in 2006 in Engineering Mechanics and Astronautics. After working in the areas of Field Service Engineering and Design Engineering for about 5 years, he returned to UW-Madison to obtain a PhD in Nuclear Engineering in 2013. He obtained a patent on a nuclear medical device for cancer radiation therapy while working towards his PhD and working at Phoenix Nuclear Labs. His thesis was on how to create a more protective shielding for the ITER Tokamak Reactor in case an accident was to occur. He has been teaching Mechanical Engineering at the City University of New York since 2017.
