West Lafayette

• Audio Analysis in ACTS (Acute Care Trauma Simulation)
• Aimed to model relationships between audio metrics and clinical performance, and derive objective audio metrics and measures from audio data
• Applied Praat (speech analysis software) to extract over 50 communication features, and developed a rigorous statistical model using deep learning, logistic regression, and principal component analysis
• Work has been accepted for presentation at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting (Philadelphia, PA. October 1-5, 2018), and American College of Surgeons' Clinical Congress (Boston, MA. October 21-25.

West Lafayette, Indiana

• Ergonomic Analysis of Veterinary Care
• Aimed to identify occupational risk factors affecting the upper extremities of leading and assisting surgeons in orthopedic and soft tissue small animal surgeries
• Utilized objective medical device metrics such as inertial measurement units (IMUs), heart rate monitors, Electromyography (EMG) sensors, and conducted surveys to evaluate perceived workload before and after surgery
• Further applications of this work lead to modifications of surgical environments or additional surgeon education to reduce physical strains

Lilburn, GA

• Occupational Safety Analysis
• Conducted video documentation of all production process in the facility
• Applied Washington Ergonomics Assessment tool to evaluate occupational safety in each individual task within each job, and calculated lifting index for tasks that required any lifting
• Risk factors with respect to facility area were uploaded to INTELEX (Occupational Safety Management System) to maintain an up-to-date employee system, and safety heat-map was generated to locate areas with highest.

Atlanta, Georgia

• Ergonomic Assessment Study
• Conducted onsite safety and ergonomic analysis on workshop (Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul, Airport Customer Service) technicians, by utilizing the REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) score, Lifting Index.
• Collected, sorted, and analyzed the data to locate jobs/workshops that contained the highest potential injury level and redesigned the working environment to improve the ergonomics, resulting in a most recent safety.

Hannover Area, Germany

• High Resolution Head-beam Projector
• Initially simulated an LED light source via Zemax (optical design software), controlling the emitting light rays through a variety of lens shapes to accomplish maximum light hits on Digital Micro-Mirror Device
• Successfully created a High-Resolution Projecting System in vehicles’ front beam, headlamps that recognize and projecting moving pedestrians and traffic images at night

West Lafayette, Indiana

• Sociometric Device Data Analysis
• Based on the application of the wearable device that is capable of record human behavior and interactions collected data such as speech, body movements, and environments during social interactions
• Data were analyzed in order to predict surgeon’s operating performance, and probability occurrence of fatigue
