Sang Lee serves as a Principal R&D Engineer at Medtronic, specializing in the cutting-edge field of structural heart and aortic device development. With a robust background in computational biomechanics, Sang brings a wealth of expertise in soft-tissue mechanics and hemodynamics, particularly in the context of injury and trauma. His role is pivotal in advancing the design and functionality of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) devices, where he leads cross-functional teams to ensure the mechanical integrity and performance of these critical medical devices.
One of Sang's key projects involves the development of a comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workflow utilizing advanced software tools such as ABAQUS and LS-DYNA. This initiative not only enhances the accuracy of simulations but also streamlines the design process for TMVR devices, enabling rapid prototyping and iterative testing. His expertise in material modeling, particularly with shape memory alloys, allows for innovative solutions that meet the demanding requirements of modern biomedical engineering.
Sang's proficiency in tensor-based multi-axial fatigue fracture analysis further solidifies his role as a leader in the field, as he addresses complex challenges related to material damage and failure in medical implants. By leveraging his skills in simulations and product design, he contributes significantly to the development of safe, effective, and reliable medical devices that improve patient outcomes. His commitment to excellence in R&D not only drives Medtronic's mission forward but also positions him as a key influencer in the evolution of cardiovascular therapies.
