PROJECTS:

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Designed a rehabilitation chair utilizing physics, biomechanics, and Creo Parametric 3.0. This chair incorporates many innovative features that will be put to use in neuroscience research to treat patients with convergence insufficiency by the end of 2018.

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Successfully designed and programmed a LEGO® Mindstorm robot utilizing Matlab R2014. The Mindstorm was encoded to carry out multiple biomedical surgical procedures including inserting a catheter and placing a surgical stent.

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Developed and conducted multiple physiological lab experiments including:

Simulating the Valsalva maneuver (Diagnostic procedure used to detect/evaluate irregularities in heart rhythm)

Simulating muscle fatigue to show relevant changes in signal amplitude and frequency of an electromyogram(EMG) signal

Each experiment was carefully executed by a small group of students with little guidance from the professor to encourage the use of knowledge gained from previous courses.

JFK/JRI Prosthetics & Orthotics Lab

Created a modified prosthetic CAD design utilizing Creo Parametric 3.0. The design incorporated many different modern designs believed to increase amputee comfort in hope to move forward with the device in a future company.
