I am pursuing an M.S. degree focused on the study of sensor-based measurement of human performance and muscular degradation. My research centers on developing a modular, cable-driven force-feedback system to detect early indicators of upper-limb muscular atrophy through repeatable force measurements and biomechanical analysis. We investigate how mechanical response data from human movement can be processed for diagnostic and rehabilitation monitoring applications. After graduating, I will further my career by conducting research in biomedical engineering to develop low-cost medical devices/robots that improve patients' quality of life and facilitate medical access for rural and low-income communities.
Future Goals:
Conduct research at the intersection of human kinetics, bioinstrumentation, disease mechanics, biomaterials, and sensing technologies to develop low-cost medical devices, sensors, and robotic systems that improve patient quality of life.
A long-term goal is to develop efficient, inexpensive medical devices, affordable without insurance and facilitate medical access for low-income communities worldwide.
