Experience

Things I've built

I2CE Lab VIP, team lead, 2025 to present

MediScan

Portable point-of-care diagnostics for low-resource clinics. Led the electromechanical design: 65°C closed-loop heating, four-channel optical detection and a solar-charged power board.

Jan to Jul 2025

Partial Weight Bearing Insole

Force sensors, embedded C++ and ESP32 telemetry for real-time plantar load monitoring in partial-weight-bearing rehab. ±3% accuracy.

Coming soon

Startup, co-founder, in progress

FIXT

Agents that understand hardware well enough to run, monitor and control the test line end to end.

Sponsored by Emory Hospital, in progress

Non-invasive BP monitor for LVAD patients

Continuous-flow heart pumps flatten the pulse, so standard cuffs often cannot get a reading.

Research

Physiology of Wearable Robotics Lab

Undergraduate Research Assistant, May 2025 to present

Process EMG from CAREN perturbation trials in MATLAB to time a balance-assisting hip exoskeleton. EMG acquisition protocols behind 50+ human-subject studies.

Structured Information for Precision Neuroengineering Lab

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Dec 2024 to May 2025

Built 40+ test cases and Brian2 simulation environments for closed-loop electrophysiology, modeling neural dynamics under raster-scanned calcium imaging.

Open to 2027 roles.

Hardware, medtech and research.
