Neurophysiological Modulation of Spinal Cord Excitability by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
- Investigating the physiological basis of motor recovery using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
- Developed an experimental protocol to study the influence of TMS on spinal cord excitation during isometric contraction using peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)
- Collected and analyzed high - density electromyography (HD - sEMG) data to quantify motor evoked potentials (MEP)
Subcortical TMS for Cortical Inhibition of Long-Latency Responses in the Forearm
- Developed a multi-modal experimental protocol to study neural long latency responses simultaneously with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), surface electromyography EMG, and a wrist-perturbation robot
Multi-Muscle Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MM-MRE)
- Maintained MATLAB code for precise forearm muscle segmentation for MRI scans, processing 14 distinct forearm muscles alongisde radial and ulnar bones
- Developed algorithms to assess muscle volume disparities, calculating overlap with Intersection over Union (IoU) and total muscle volume for individual muscles
Movement Capabilities of Prospective Astronauts and Parastronauts during Emergency Exits of Spacecrafts
- Developed an experimental protocol with engineering firm Moonprint Solutions to assess the feasibility of individuals with limb loss as astronaut candidates
- Measured space capsule ingress/egress performance; conducted on-site data acquisition, preprocessing, and creating of analysis-ready datasets, with results delivered to NASA
