RESEARCH

Research Capstone Project – Asynchrony in Audiovisual Speech Integration among Infants at Risk for Autism and Cochlear Implant Patients

Student Research Assistant Sept ’15 – May ‘16

Under supervision of Dr. Michael Lewis and Dr. Minar

Abstract: Study in which a correlation amongst progression in audiovisual speech integration in well infants, infants at risk for autism and infants with cochlear implants was investigated; further exploration of the McGurk effect phenomenon in early child development.

Collected and analyzed initial research papers to find a correlation in statistics to formulate hypotheses

Assistance in lab set up for at risk infants, well infants, and cochlear implant infants

Scrubbed in for cochlear implant surgeries on infants

Applied MATLAB skills and statistics software to analyze data

Academic conference poster/podium presentation at Annual Pediatrics Day at Rutgers University

Completed final Capstone Research paper

Senior Research Project – “OcculoChair”: Utilizing Eye Movements to Control a Power Wheelchair

Team Member / Record Keeper Sept ’14 – May ‘15

Abstract: ALS, and quadriplegia are some in which the patients’ motor neurons are affected, leading to loss in functionality of nearly all voluntary muscles, but not eye muscles. The goal of the design was to create a power wheelchair for these patients, by utilizing the user’s eye movements as a control mechanism. Eye movements were tracked using a camera attached to a head mounted device. A microcomputer interpreted commands from rangefinders, stop button, and camera, sending signals to motor controllers, which with batteries, propelled the wheelchair. Each component was tested individually, and then connected.

Designed and constructed the head-mounted camera glasses making mechanical modifications utilizing a pulley system

Spearheaded construction of the motion component of the wheelchair integrating mechanical and electrical components

Kessler Institute – Normal Gait: Differences in Gait Across Ages and Gender with Neuromuscular Diseases

Volunteer Research Intern June ’14 – Aug ‘14

Abstract: Under the supervision of Dr. Forrest, assisted in the early stages of a study using exoskeletal-assisted standing and walking robotics (ReWalk) in people with spinal cord injuries: ReWalk comprises a wearable brace support, a computer-based control system and motion sensors. The ReWalk exoskeleton allows user-initiated, independent, controlled walking that mimics the natural gait pattern.

Facilitated set-up of patients in the clinical study by placing electrodes on foot and ankle areas to obtain proper readings

Analyzed and interpreted gait patterns via voltage readings of electrodes at various anatomical locations using the Vicon software
