• Worked under Dr. Troy to quantify sagittal plane kinematics and dynamics of exoskeleton-assisted walking in people with SCI.• Analyzed 2D video data with Kinovea and tracked hip, knee, ankle, heel, and toe coordinates to calculate angles between the thigh and shank and between the shank and foot.• Generated a Matlab program using Inverse Dynamics to compare joint moments and joint forces of the knee, hip, and ankle of patients with SCI and non-SCI individuals.

• Improved the telehealth network in NC by conversing with executives/leaders of companies and health care facilities to adopt a new form of medical record keeping.• Investigated the pros and cons of each major medical institution in NC and studied solutions to integrate all the systems together. • Independently worked on researching the current telehealth network and designing a model to integrate SC into the new telehealth network.

• Assisted Dr. Park in assessing Parkinson's Disease and helped improve the current mathematical model of electrical currents and synapse in a Parkinson's patient. • Analyzed data and brain enzyme levels to determine how the addition or subtraction of a certain enzyme affected the internal response of the nerves and the external response shown.• Modeled and synthesized charts on Matlab and XQuartz in order to analyze past data from scientist to help predict the cause of decreased dopamine levels.
