Coby Maybrook
Biomedical Engineering, University of Missouri · Expected graduation December 2027
Biomedical engineering student at the University of Missouri, expected to graduate in December 2027. Three years of circuits, math, and embedded systems at Milwaukee School of Engineering before transferring to the medical side, a summer moving MRI hardware from design into manufacturing at GE HealthCare, and close to two years on shop floors at a forge and an assembly line before that.

- Collaborated on lifting analysis and tooling development for heavy MRI part installations, coordinating across sites to keep part procurement on schedule.
- Proposed and evaluated an AR technology integration for the production line, identifying a potential $70,000 in annual savings and 90 percent efficiency gains in onboarding and training.
- Developed AR workflows and outlined implementation paths for adoption across Manufacturing, R&D, and Quality.
Student Learner Intern
Feb 2021 - Jan 2022
Scot Forge Company, Spring Grove, IL
- Evaluated customer parts for dimensional tolerance and quality compliance during forging production.
- Performed maintenance and upkeep on shop floor machinery and work areas to support production readiness.
- Built hands-on familiarity with heavy metal-forming equipment across an 11-month term by shadowing manufacturing professionals.
Projects
3D Aorta MRI Labeling
MATLAB Medical Imaging App
- Labeled the Sagittal, Coronal, and Transverse views of the aorta to identify each section.
- Highlighted ascending cross sections to build a 3D volume for better visibility.
- Compared three 3D volume scans to identify abnormalities against a healthy reference.
Go-Kart Design
SolidWorks, team of 5
- Modeled and assembled a full tube-frame go-kart on a 5-week timeline, integrating structural, aerodynamic, steering, and drivetrain components.
- Designed and finalized a dual-pedal brake and throttle system from concept to production-ready CAD models.
- Led final assembly refinement and technical documentation, producing assembly drawings, a bill of materials, and standardized part templates.
Embedded Environmental Datalogger
STM32 Nucleo, C, team of 2
- Built a datalogger sampling temperature, light, and potentiometer sensors with customizable sample rates and logging durations.
- Programmed start and stop via button inputs, with real-time sensor values on request and structured output after logging.
- Used functions and arrays to manage varying sample rates and durations, and added a moving-average filter for data smoothing.
3D Printed EKG Connector
SolidWorks and Arduino, team of 3
- Measured and modeled a connector to keep the ECG wire securely in place.
- Tested the final connector after 6 design iterations, producing consistent ECG output.
Emergency Response Safety System
Arduino and Raspberry Pi, team of 2
- Researched existing patents and solutions for emergency vehicle alerts on Google Patents to analyze effectiveness and failure modes.
- Designed and prototyped a traffic sign system that directs drivers out of the path of approaching emergency vehicles.
- Tested with real-time feedback from experts and potential users, refining the design to be DOT compliant.
- Documented the work in a 66-page report covering problem analysis, design decisions, testing results, and expert evaluations.
