As a sophomore, he joined Engineers for Sustainable Medical Development (ESMD, now DesignHub), an undergraduate organization with a mission to collaborate with clinicians and to create creating novel, sustainable medical devices. Ian started a design project with his undergraduate friends [[Nathan Smialek|Nate]], Stephanie, and Harrison. The project went from idea to functional prototype in nine months and has been critical in helping UPMC surgeons restore vision to children. Ian has since served as ESMD’s Vice President and Entrepreneurial Consultant. He has expanded the club from no more than 15 undergraduate bioengineers to a diverse team of over 100 engineering and business students. He develops technical and entrepreneurial classes for ESMD workshops and supervises students who are commercializing their design projects.</span></span></span>

He operated in two capacities: to advance the technology, and electrical engineering at the to assist with customer development for a future business. The effort led to a University of Pittsburghspin-out based around the project.
