Since joining GE in 2011 he has contributed in several technical and leadership roles to various projects, from risk quantification for large credit portfolios to reliability estimation and life predictions for aircraft engine modules to developing process monitoring algorithms for advanced manufacturing technologies such as Additive Manufacturing.
After joining GE Research as a magnetic resonance scientist in 2008, Desmond worked on multiple projects at various stages of the R&D pipeline. One of his earliest works at GE Research was the conception of a dual-function MRI-RF hyperthermia applicator for improved imaging and targeted application of sub-lethal heat that is used as an adjuvant to radio- or chemotherapy for cancer treatment. This work was recognized with a first-prize award in the engineering category at the ISMRM 2011 conference.
