TxBDC develops technologies to prevent injuries, detect impairments, and restore quality of life lost due to neurological injuries and disease. We are committed to the development of affordable and innovative therapies and technologies.Our teams specialize in neurological therapies, and biomedical devices and software to treat neurological injuries and diseases such as tinnitus, stroke, PTSD, chronic pain, autism, multiple sclerosis, Rett syndrome, phantom limb pain, spinal cord injury, and peripheral nerve injury. Through partnerships with clinicians and commercial entities, TxBDC uses our affordable technology to develop and deliver effective solutions for bioelectric medicines.TxBDC is a collaborative effort engaging researchers from multiple disciplines working toward a common goal: creating new biomedical technology and therapies. This interdisciplinary program includes faculty members from the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, and the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.Our researchers at the Texas Biomedical Device Center have developed a therapy to help neurological injury patients fully reengage in life. This therapy uses stimulation of the vagus nerve during rehabilitation to rewire neural circuits, dramatically improving recovery. We call this approach Targeted Plasticity Therapy (TPT). TxBDC researchers are at the forefront of investigations into neuroplasticity and its role in the development of a wide range of therapies for disorders including stroke (FDA approved), tinnitus, spinal cord injury (SCI), traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and peripheral nerve injury.Targeted Plasticity Therapy has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological injury and disease.

I studied the Energy Absorption in Nano-Architected Composite, work done with Dr. Julia Greer of The Kavli Nanoscience Institute at Caltech. Abstract: Energy absorption and impact resilience are crucial in a number of real-world applications from crashworthiness testing to protection from traumatic head injury in sports & ballistic impact in the battlefield. These challenges are often addressed by the application of composite materials. Recent work in the Greer Group has focused on dynamic testing and improving energy dissipation through structural hierarchy. Incorporating architecture with nano-scale features into composite systems may achieve previously inaccessible regions in the material property space. In pursuit of this objective, we formulated nanocomposites comprised of a stiff SU-8 (4-5 GPa) nano-architected matrix and various compliant infill materials (polydimethylsiloxane, polyacrylic acid gel, 2k-Epoxy, 635-Epoxy). Difficulties with instrumentation limited the extent of experimentation; the resolution of which became a predominant focus of this work. Despite this, constituent materials were independently characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) under compression at a fixed strain rate of 1E-3 s-1 . Our interpenetrated composites were evaluated for their compressive stiffness and energy absorption, which was calculated by integrating the area under the force-displacement hysteresis curve. Variation in the mechanical response of different infill materials showed that the unique combination of nano-architected lattices, developed by the Greer Group, and compliant resins demonstrated behavior deviating from the rule of mixtures expectations.

I worked as a research assistant within Martin Thuo's SMMT research group in the field of materials engineering. My work included developing a new interpretation of piezoresistive MEMS sensors utilizing our special Field's Metal Particles. Furthermore, I work on technology to adapt these sensors and particles in many ways to revolutionize many industries such as force mapping and 3-Dimensional sensors. I endeavor to eventually patent some of the technology which comes from this work.

Iowa State University

The Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program selected to provide me with support and complete preparation for doctoral studies and Ph.D. through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair selects first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that are traditionally underrepresented in graduate education that have demonstrated strong academic potential. The goal of the McNair Scholars Program is to increase graduate degree awards for students from underrepresented segments of society. The Ronald E. McNair program will make it possible for me to reach my goals and become the first Doctorate in my family.

NASA Micro-g NExT Design ChallengeThe objective of the NASA Micro-g NExT Design Challenge is to brainstorm, design, build, and test microgravity tools for future use by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). To do this, the team participates in the NASA Microgravity Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Teams (Micro-g NExT) Artemis Student Challenge. For the 2021-22 challenge, the team is developing a reusable multi-surface anchoring mechanism to be used by future astronauts on the Moon and in other areas of space exploration to help NASA conduct research. This year, our team designed a reusable multi-surface anchoring mechanism which was selected by NASA to continue in the challenge. Our team produced a prototype in Spring 2022 which was tested at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in a microgravity environment similar to the Moon.

As a member of the State of Iowa Youth Advisory Council (SIYAC) member, I was appointed as a legislative lobbyist for Iowa by the Governor and Iowa Department of Human Rights annually. This was unpaid, non-profit experience to build equity in the community as a volunteer public servant in the legislative processes. In SIYAC, I created position statements, draft bills, and advocate for laws that benefit Iowa's youth. I also attended regular legislative meetings and collaborated with state legislators to lobby for equitable policies.
