Baltimore, Maryland Area

Developing biophysically-accurate electromechanical models of the failing human heart and using them to investigate the subcellular mechanisms underlying the drivers of arrhythmogenesis in human cardiac disease (heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and chronic atrial fibrillation).

Arden Hills, Mn

Applied unsupervised machine learning techniques to continuous CRT-­D device-based sensor data from heart failure patients to identify clinically-­relevant interactions between physiological data and clinical characteristics.

Greater Boston Area

Created a speech identification algorithm to improve speech signal processing in cocktail-party environments. The two-channel computational auditory processor enhanced speech signal processing by removing reverberation, localizing multiple speech sound sources, and segregating a selected target speaker.

Greater Boston Area

Identified RNA-protein interactions in living cells using a Cross-Linking Immunoprecipitation protocol and investigated their involvement in transcription and translation.

Providence, Rhode Island Area

Developed techniques to improve the efficacy of titanium-based orthopedic implants by promoting bone tissue formation, reducing bacteria adhesion, and enhancing keratinocyte density.

Newport, Rhode Island

Computationally modeled acoustic interactions, including reverberation and absorption, at the various ocean boundary layers (surface, volume, bottom) to enhance torpedo sonar performance in each layer.
