• Managed a team of 5 graduate students to create a Brown-Hyundai Visionary Challenge (HVC) proposal which resulted in presentation at an industry conference. • Secondary HVC proposal resulted in funded research for 18-mo. Responsible for writing up ongoing research and presenting findings to Hyundai R&D stakeholders.• Designed and conducted 5 user-centered experiments (100+ hours) in virtual reality (VR), which resulted in 5 conference presentations and 1 publication in a peer-reviewed journal.• Collaborated with a diverse team to validate various head-mounted displays (Oculus Rift, CV1; HTC Vive; Samsung Odyssey) for experimental use.• Coordinated off-site real world experiment, secured location and scheduled 13 subjects and 10 volunteer experimenters over 5 days. Resulted in 1 conference presentation and timely completion of PhD dissertation.• Volunteered to demonstrate virtual reality as a tool for research at local outreach event, leading to recurring invitation to be a panel speaker for STEM summer program at Brown University.

• Lectured on a variety of topics to classes ranging from 250 to 20 students in size. • Provided one-on-one feedback on class performance, clarification on lecture material, and managed learning accommodations (for +6 students) to create an inclusive classroom. • Connected with students, as a first generation and international student, to discuss research and my graduate school experience.Courses (from most recent):- Research Methods & Design (2 semesters)- Developmental Psychology- Children’s Thinking: The Nature of Cognitive Development - Mind & Brain: Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience

• Designed and conducted multiple major experiments in collaboration with researchers from Liverpool, UK, to Waterloo, CAN. Resulted in 5 conference presentations.• Recruited subjects from the local rugby club, university dance team, and general population to investigate the role of training during obstacle avoidance. • Collected and analyzed 3D full-body motion data (Optotrack) indicating that training does not influence the avoidance behaviour.

• Solicited feedback on tests, creating a 2-way dialogue to improve student understanding of material and create recommendations for future exam design.• Responsible for in lab assistance to students and created strategies based on quiz performance.Courses:- Research Methods II- Balance, Posture, & Gait - Statistical Reasoning & Advanced Experimental Analysis (graduate level course)- Biodynamical Aspects of Physical Activity- Functional Human Anatomy (2 terms)
