RELATED EXPIERENCE

Brown University Advanced Baby Imaging Lab, intern June - August 2016

oAided in two studies, one studying brain development in healthy infants, and another studying the effects of delayed chord clamping at birth. My role included helping with the acquisition of MRI images, image processing, the building of a new lab database, and the conducting/scoring of cognitive assessments on the subjects

OTTO-Mobile Senior Capstone Design Project August 2016 – May 2017

oWorked with the Jowonio School in Syracuse to design and create an assisted mobility device for disabled children. The project involved working in a team, from concept forming, ideation, and ordering parts, through multiple different design phases, testing, and prototyping of both the mechanical and electronic components. This included the programming of a microprocessor as well as 3D designing and printing of custom parts.

oThe project also took into consideration the business aspect, FDA approval, intellectual property, and quality control.

APPLICATIONS:

Bioengineering Laboratory Work:

oLab work included; the creation of a respiration measurement device using a thermistor, the design and creation of a photoplethysmography heart rate monitor using an IR emitter and detector, as well as the creation of an EEG device using an Arduino microprocessor. These projects required the use of circuit breadboards, LabVIEW, and Multisim.

Quantitative Physiology Lab Work:

oInvestigated how stimulation of the sciatic nerve controls the behavior of the gastrocnemius muscle. This was done by manually stimulating the nerve of a frog using probes connected to a Grass stimulator at different muscle lengths, voltages, and pulse patterns while visualizing the results using LabVIEW.
