Experience
June 2014-
Present
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory – Laurel, Maryland
Naval Analyst for The National Security Analysis Department: May 31 – August 12, 2016
 Supported Project MindFlight, for which APL and the University of Pittsburgh designed and ran
experiments to test the ability of subjects to control a variety of aircraft in a simulation using a Brain-
Computer Interface.
 Designed and tested an experiment in which a subject controls a number of unmanned aerial vehicles
remotely using the Brain-Computer Interface.
 Designed and participated in experiments relating to the Revolutionizing Prosthetics project where
subjects received various sensory information in the form of tactile feedback from the prosthetic limb to
inform decision making.
 Granted Interim Secret Clearance during my time at JHU APL.
Clinical Immersion at A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children – Wilmington, Delaware
Research Fellow: January 2016 – February 2016
 Proposed a pressure-sensing insole designed to quantify the level of symmetry of an athlete’s gait during
functional movements after an injury. Offered opportunity to further develop this prototype for
therapeutic use at Nemours.
 Shadowed various physical therapists in the Sports Medicine department, Aquatic Therapy and Gait Lab
for five weeks.
 Participated in a class designed to identify and address unmet clinical needs in the hospital using
engineering solutions.
Human Muscle Performance Laboratory - University of Delaware, Dr. Lee
Signal Processor: Summer of 2015
 Processed EMG signals of the superficial muscles in the quadriceps and hamstrings for patients with
cerebral palsy while they cycled.
 Analyzed the differences in co-contraction between those with cerebral palsy and those without to utilize
Functional Electrical Stimulation for cerebral palsy patients to have more normalized muscle activity.
 Utilized MATLAB for all signal processing work and developed code to tackle problems and analyze data.
