Ankle Exoskeleton

Ankle exoskeleton design rendering

At the Harvard Biodesign Lab, designed, fabricated, and developed wearable ankle exoskeleton robots to assist gait. Created detailed designs in SOLIDWORKS and fabricated multiple robot prototypes using SLS 3D printing, carbon fiber molding, and soldering new electronic components. Conducted comprehensive data collection and analysis using MATLAB and Simulink, incorporating both on-body and bench-top testing to optimize performance through power flow analysis and iterative design methods. This work culminated in a paper featured at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation.

Computer Vision Model Validation

Computer vision validation joints overlay

Captured a high-fidelity dataset to design and validate custom 3D human pose tracking algorithms, compare IR, RGB, and point-cloud data quality between different camera alternatives, and perform validation assessment of new solutions with respect to a reference motion capture system. Designed and implemented a novel automated anomaly detection method for motion capture data to improve tracking reliability. Performed statistical analysis on the resulting datasets to validate model performance.

TMS Stroke Rehabilitation Study

TMS experimental setup at Mass General Hospital

Established a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) experimental setup for investigating paired associative stimulation (PAS) protocols in stroke rehabilitation research. Independently integrated hardware and software systems using Cambridge Electronic Design (CED) Signal software and MATLAB to control stimulation parameters and data acquisition. Conducted extensive data analysis on noisy experimental datasets to extract meaningful insights for clinical applications.
