"What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end" - Nietzsche

Hello,

I am an engineering graduate student and Marine veteran looking to innovate and lead in industry. I work with the Colorado State Veterinary Teaching Hospital to research and develop implants for animal and human trial. Give me a vision, deadline, and budget and I will make it happen.

Looking forward,
Forrest Kuhlmann

Engineering Experience

MIT - Surgical GUIDE

I worked on this device at MIT Lincoln Lab. In an emergency setting the device could help an untrained person to catheterize a persons Femoral Artery. This product was developed for the Army and is currently in manufacturing. My direct contribution was to design and test the device to automatically insert a needle and guidewire that could be done many times for low cost.

Personal Projects

The most rewarding part of getting an engineering degree has been applying the knowledge to my daily life.

CSU - Canine Exoskeleton

My undergraduate senior design project was to build this exoskeleton device for large dogs. Large dogs with hind limb paralysis can help propel themselves with this machine. In doing so having the stepper motors move the dogs hind limbs for them also helps prevent muscular dystrophy in the animal.
