Software and physical engineering consulting services for biomedical device companies

Menlo Park, CA, US

• Research Scientist working on mathematical tools for Brain Computer Interfaces/Human Computer Interfaces.
• Led and developed three external academic collaborations on HCI research using ML and Game Theory, including defining statements of work(SoW) contracts, master agreements, and evaluating SoW progress. Led to several.
• Tech lead and designer for novel online algorithms research with multiple human computer interaction (HCI) devices to enable personalized interactions with AR/VR devices. The novel algorithmic method was integrated.
• Investigated methods for preserving data privacy; optimized compute intensive algorithms so that the algorithms could operate in a privacy-safe method without any lag in performance.
• Developed new fNIRS signal processing techniques for brain computer interface (BCI) devices that eliminated outliers in the acquired data via comparisons to optical models of light propagation.
• Open source BCI software platform design and development (https://github.com/facebookresearch/labgraph) to enable easier collaboration between teams and a lower barrier to entry for research projects. Reduced.

Alameda, California, US

• Led and wrote SBIR and other research grants.
• Developed novel image reconstruction methods for Magnetic Particle Imaging to elucidateiron nanoparticle dynamics via physics-based convex optimization models.
• Formulated robust dehazing algorithm for MPI based on iron nanoparticle physics that significantly improves image conspicuity. Presented at WMIC 2018.
• Developed the physics, signal processing, and business model for a novel product that acquiresnew information on iron nanoparticle dynamics using existing hardware.
• Defined software engineering hiring policies and procedures. Designed coding interview challengesand hiring matrices.
• Migrated image reconstruction and device control computer from Windows to NixOS.

Cambridge, MA, US

Developed novel algorithms using computational geometry for generating controllers in constrained settings.

Boulder, Colorado, US

• Implemented a laser hygrometer on a Gulfstream V aircraft for the predict project capable ofmeasuring water concentrations up to 51,000 feet, using absorption spectroscopy.
• Developed Linux device drivers in C on a preemptive kernel to interface with an I/O card on aPC/104 computing stack.
• Installed, maintained, and operated the hygrometer on a three week scientific expedition for theICE-T project in St. Croix USVI.
