PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Research Engineer Sep 2016 - Present

Rehabilitation Engineering and Electromechanical Design Lab, University of South Florida, FL

Developed and led a new healthcare therapy technique from start to end. Increased walking performance among patients and received ~$500,000 grant funding from NSF.

Conducted clinical research investigations to assess measurements' accuracy by wearable products such as fitness trackers and smartwatches among people using crutches.

Initiated, designed, and coordinated wellness therapies and healthcare technologies. Executed 100+ human trials within a 3D motion capture environment and analyzed data from measurement devices (joint movements and force reactions). Defined and formulated walking parameters. Improved human-device interaction by 20%.

Developed, tested, and documented medical device patents for enhanced physical performance. Rapid prototyping of CAD models through 3D printing, laser cutting, and machine tools.

Designed and created models and simulations of the musculoskeletal system using MATLAB, C++, and Simulink resulting in optimal measurements for impaired walking with wearable devices.

Clinical Research Scientist Dec 2016 – Jun 2018

Ataxia Research Center, Morsani Center for Advanced Health Care, Tampa, FL

Created algorithms and analyzed the performance of sensor-based data (motion and pressure) for 12 months to track the progression of the disease among people with neurological disorders.

Collaborated in a multi-disciplinary research team of engineers, clinicians, and physical therapists. Communicated scientific findings in a concise and actionable manner.
