I have been involved in a multitude of research projects throughout my undergraduate career, notably through both senior design and the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program. Each of these projects were presented at the Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (URECA) research symposium.

For my first project, I worked with a team of students to create a wearable capacitive sensor consisting of carbon- black ink and copper tape sandwiched between porous Ecoflex layers. This sensor was capable of quantifying both pressure and shear, making it useful in applications such as prosthetic fitting which require precise monitoring of these forces to minimize patient discomfort.

My second project followed a different VIP team, in which I helped to develop and test a skin comfortable EMG swallow sensor. This was refined using machine learning to work in dysphagia rehabilitation.

Finally, I worked on a senior design project which entailed designing software for an exercise-based competitive party game for use in the Fit Kids for Life Program. This is one of several playable minigames in this software, and it sees players competing to escape a giant monster by performing various cardio exercises as instructed.

Now, as a graduate student, I am conducting research with Dr Wei Lin to create wearable fabric electrodes for diagnostic ECG applications. This is currently in the form of a sleeve, though we seek to expand this via integration into clothing for continuous patient monitoring.
