Paper based immunoassay for the detection of plasmodium falciparum Histidine Rich Protein 2 (HRP2) • Designed a novel 2-dimensional paper network to allow for the pump-free sequential delivery of six reagents with optimized flow profiles• Implemented a streptavidin-biotin detection scheme to achieve a limit of detection of 0.1 ng/mL pf HRP2 Cell phone high-resolution microendoscope• Developed a cell-phone based high-resolution microendoscope capable of acquiring sub-cellular images In vivo for the early detection of cervical cancer• Capable of achieving comparable imaging performance to previous generations of the system without the need for a computer and research grade camera

Brain Machine Interface Laboratory of Miguel Nicolelis, M.D., Ph.D.• Developed a neuronal-spike sorting algorithm to differentiate neuronal units from extracellular multielectrode recordings• Helped to develop tasks and train macaques to analyze the pattern between neuronal firing and arm movement
