•Created the new quantitative wear-testing system, which automatically constructs scores and pass/fail determinations from user feedback data for overall fit, comfort, performance, and durability of footwear, bringing attention to the key areas needing adjustment for targeted product improvement•Reports from the quantitative system allowed the introduction of comparative analysis between footwear models and selling seasons •Continued developing the report system remotely to introduce an update that uses text recognition to organize data, thereby adapting to the customization of category surveys and front-end changes•Worked with factories in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam to make production adjustments to footwear samples in development based on foot morphology and construction quality needs•Updated footwear manufacturing best practices for factory production to be referenced by design, development, and engineering departments

• Analyzing human walking economy utilizing gait biomechanics and corresponding metabolic rates to determine the effect of speed, grade, and load on walking efficiency• Use IBM SPSS to statistically analyze the walking metabolic data set within loading conditions• Experience collecting performance data from Olympic and Paralympic track athletes in a laboratory test setting using a force-plate embedded treadmill and high-speed motion capture equipment

• Designed and developed an orthotic arm device for a child afflicted with paralysis in the right arm• Orthotic arm device reads EMG muscle signals on the skin surface, uses various equations to filter the raw signals, and moves the patient’s arm to a corresponding position• Utilized 3D CAD software to design the 3D-printed and CNC-machined product
