Zolomon Kaliser
Graduate researcher at Texas A&M University with a background in finance. Bridging clinical engineering, market strategy, and data-driven decision-making.
Engineering meets business strategy.
I work at the intersection of clinical engineering and strategic finance. I hold a B.S. in Finance from UT Dallas and am completing a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M (expected May 2027), an accelerated path that began when I started college at 14.
My background lets me evaluate a medical device through both a technical and a commercial lens, ensuring life-saving technology is not only functional but strategically viable.
Academic Background
Graduate Research Projects
Analyzed market drivers and sterilization impact for a specific surgical device, including competitive landscape and clinical engineering considerations. This research focused on identifying cost-effective materials that maintain integrity through multiple autoclave cycles.
Engineering solutions for patient monitoring and recovery engagement, assessing clinical need and feasibility of a biomedical device concept. The project involves developing a non-invasive wearable sensor suite that tracks physiological markers.
Evaluated remote monitoring strategies and device solutions to improve outcomes and reduce in-person follow-up burden for post-transplant kidney patients using subcutaneous biosensors.
Researched biofilm formation on stainless steel with PEG-Gelatin coatings to improve biocompatibility and inform implantable device design. Analyzed protein adsorption rates to inhibit bacterial colonization.
Undergraduate Research Projects
- Delivered four faculty-reviewed presentations on Nvidia's competitive position and long-term strategy.
- Built financial models and market forecasts based on AI hardware demand cycles.
- Analyzed root causes of Southwest Airlines' 2022 operational meltdown and leadership recovery measures.
- Directed written and oral presentation to a class of 30+ students.
- Conceptualized a campus sleep pod business targeting commuter students with long class gaps.
- Surveyed ~100 students to validate demand and designed an operational model.
Work Experience
- Designing and executing test cases for healthcare software, validating functionality against project requirements.
- Documenting defects and findings to guide development priorities and release readiness.
- Contributing to engineering design and biomedical engineering projects across the device development cycle.
- Conducting market and medical research to inform product and clinical strategy.
- Analyzed medical device markets, patient needs, and competitors to guide company strategy.
- Assessed device functionality and clinical applications to support development decisions.
- Built financial models projecting revenues, COGS, and operating expenses.
- Reconciled bond portfolios and improved accuracy of financial reporting.
- Streamlined data transfers across systems using VLOOKUP and advanced Excel functions.
- Queried and analyzed SQL databases to generate insights for portfolio managers.
- Updated valuation records for 500+ residential properties across DFW and Houston.
- Maintained home value data to support accurate property tax assessments.

Working Together
I run market-research engagements for early-stage medical device companies, alongside graduate research at Texas A&M and current internships at Resilient HC and Teliatry. My focus is helping medtech founders make commercial decisions backed by rigorous, defensible market analysis: competitive landscapes, market sizing, reimbursement, and financial models.
