Processes EEG data using MATLAB to merge signals with motion and gait markers, and assists in studies on neural mechanisms and mobility in older adults.

I currently work on processing EEG data by using MATLAB scripts to merge EEG signals with motion and gait markers, and subsequently de-noise and sort them. This work assists my principal investigator's overall project of studying how neural mechanisms change with age and affect mobility using novel techniques of mobile brain imaging and uneven terrain treadmill walking in older adults. Under a pre

I currently work on quantifying brain glucose concentrations using chronamperometry with a potentiostat. I use microelectrode biosensors to convert nonreactive glucose into an electroactive species that can be measured in-vitro and in-vivo within sedated rats. I also create microelectrode component designs on SOLIDWORKS. In weekly meetings with the principal investigator and other lab members, I p

I created a robust, low-cost solution for stabilizing ultrasound probes at the brachial artery for real-time blood flow assessment. Furthermore, I produced a MATLAB-based quantitative tool that can evaluate CPR effectiveness, addressing a gap in current monitoring devices. I then delivered a prototype that combined hardware design, software analysis, and clinical feedback into a cohesive system. I

I identify action units from patients in intensive care units from depth and facial imagery, then submit annotations of aforementioned images as data for algorithm development on patient activity levels. Before this, I attained certifications for HIPAA, good clinical practice, and the project's IRB.
