PROJECT
EXPERIENCE
Assessing
the
Progression
of
Parkinson’s
Disease
(Senior
Project)
2012
• Leveraged expertise in LabVIEW to produce an assessment tool for progression of Parkinson’s disease.
• Developed the validation and verification test for the Parkinson’s disease assessment tool.
• Created LabVIEW Virtual Instrument (VI) to quantify arm tremor via an accelerometer sensor.
• Analyzed the signal’s amplitude and tremor frequency to determine progression of the disease.
Aerospace-
Mechanical
Bicycle
Design
Project
2012
• Used Solidworks to design and build a fully functional bicycle, then ran Finite Element Analysis to
validate quality, performance and safety requirements
• Transferred part drawings into CAD parts and ensured compliance to specs.
Quality
System
and
Standards
2012
• Spearheaded an internal audit of the quality procedure, ensuring compliance to 21CFR Part 820 and
ISO 13845. Garnered relevant data to produce a Work Order, SPEC sheets and manufacturing SOPs.
• Identified possible failure mode, effect and criticality of intravascular administration set via FMECA.
Non-
linear
dynamics
of
EEG
signals
in
Epilepsy
Patients
and
Control 2013
• Used MatLab to calculate entropy and non-linear predictability of EEG signals quantifying
complexity and determinism. Identified nonlinearity significance between groups via statistical t-test.
• Applied high frequency filter to reduce noise in ECG signals.
Texture
Discrimination
using
Signal
Analysis 2012
• Slid an artificial finger along three unknown textures and analyzed the produced signals.
• Used MatLab to perform Fourier transform and generated a spectrogram to analyze the signals.
Simulation
of
Hodkin-
Huxley
Model
in
Excel
• Utilized Microsoft Excel to simulate electrical property of Hodgkin-Huxley Model.
WORK
EXPERIENCE
Children’s
Hospital
Los
Angeles
(CHLA), Research Assistant Los Angeles 2013
• Tasked with using image processing software to analyze brain morphological variations as potential
endophenotypes for psychopathic traits in adolescents.
• Ensured QA/QC for pre- and post-processed structural MRI image and the Diffusion Tensor Image
• Performed manual segmentation as a corrective action to non-compliant processed MRI images
• Wrote manual tracing protocol for the hippocampus segmentation and entered behavior data into SPSS
to perform statistical analysis
Gnomon
Group, Research Analyst, Intern Seoul, South Korea 2010
• Garnered relevant data to create a benchmark analysis of a $250M Smart Grid Test Bed initiative.
• Generated benchmark analysis of Global Smart Grid Complex to propose a strategic guideline
• Analyzed funding, partners and possible exit strategy and wrote the roles and responsibility section of
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
USC-
Aero.
and
Mech.
Engineering, Grader for Fluid Dynamics Los Angeles 2013
• Worked directly under the Professor to analyze and grade projects for a class of 50
CAMPUS
INVOLVEMENT
Society
of
Automotive
Engineers, member Jan.10- May 12
• Researched the characteristics of rear wing design and crafted aerodynamic parts using carbon fiber
and resin mold
