Group Details

Introductory Phrase:

I am a Distinguished Technical Fellow in the field of biomedical engineering within Medtronic PLC with experience mentoring colleagues, where I wish to share knowledge and assist/guide other individuals in their professional development journey.

About You:

My name is William Harding, but since that would be what my family normally calls my spanking name, you can call me “Liam” (it’s Irish for William).  My wife and I (along with our puppy “Roo” [a Cavapoochon]) live in Chandler Arizona (specifically in the Ocotillo area). My professional life spans environments such as missile testing (Eastern and Pacific Missile Test Centers), drug interdiction (US Customs), and rechargeable battery development (Energizer), but it was not until I started designing and building medical devices/solutions that I realized my true calling. That said, I am presently a Distinguished Technical Fellow within Medtronic's Healthcare Innovation team and I am pursuing a PhD in General Psychology with an Emphasis in Integrating Technology, Learning, and Psychology.  My current dissertation topic is “The Aggregation of Disparate Healthcare Systems within an Adaptive Transformational Engine: Demystifying the Art of Healthcare”, which is a reflection of actual work that I have completed within the field of medical device manufacturing and theoretical concepts that I plan to implement within healthcare environments.              As for something interesting about me, I am a 5th generation Floridian with salt air in my lungs, beach sand between my toes, and I am a major adrenaline junkie (e.g., skydiving [~2400 jumps], scuba, snow/water skiing, hiking, and Taekwondo).

Looking for:

Individuals who are seeking guidance and information regarding their professional growth.
