Served as lead engineer managing biomedical signal processing and systems modeling for clinical research team. Worked with renowned medical doctor focusing on the cardiovascular contribution to Alzheimer’s disease.Investigated the role of mental and psychosocial stress in age-related cognitive decline.Headed development of an experimental protocol for monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and other physiological signals in a clinical setting while research participants were challenged with mental stress. Developed MATLAB programs for collection and analysis of obtained data.Published research findings as first author.Led experimental setup and protocol development for the study of cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with cognitive impairment during functional magnetic resonance imaging.Performed simultaneous measurements of brain activity, cardiovascular data, and respiratory data. Developed programs for collection and analysis of resting states time series data.Presented at the 2019 Alzheimer’s International Conference and published research findings.Assisted with a clinical trial study on the effect of angiotensin receptor blockers on cerebrovascular function. Led experimental setup that measured change in brain activity (fMRI) in response to administered CO2 gas. Published research findings as first author.

Research AssistantAssisted world-renowned biomedical engineer in the development of parametric and nonparametric models of cerebral hemodynamics. Explored the relation between data-driven and parametric models of cerebral hemodynamics. Developed differential equation-based models of cerebral autoregulation and CO2 vasomotor reactivity. Validated results by comparing them with nonparametric Volterra-type models.Published modeling results in both a linear and nonlinear context.Served as teacher’s assistant. Taught Intro to Neuroscience, Signals & Systems.
