WORK EXPERIENCE
Research Engineer, University of Michigan Sep’12 - Present
Sensory Augmentation & Rehabilitation Laboratory
Working on a contemporary study for monitoring hydration levels of subjects through non-invasive measurements such as heart rate, body weight and postural changes. The outcome of the study will enable the design of a cutting-edge algorithm and autonomous system that will impact athletic training & heat related illnesses caused by dehydration. Specific roles include protocol development, subject recruitment, data collection and analysis and managing IRB procedures.
Summer Intern, Forus Health, India Jun’12 - Aug’12
Performed a concept study for a specialized pediatric ophthalmological problem, detailing problems and needs through field observations and interviews with clinicians (VOC), creating an engineering requirement list, assessing market potential and competitor analysis. Also evaluated existing technology to assess inadequacies and designed experimental routes for solutions that can be integrated with a telemedicine program. The results of this study are currently part of the company’s implementation plan.
Research Intern, General Electric Mar’10 - Jul’10
John F Welch Technology Center, Global Research, India Worked on a project aimed at increasing the efficiency of a household appliance by 15%. Contributions involved motor design and implementation of a control system for motor speed regulation. Additional study and analysis included comparison of different speed control methods for 3ph induction motors.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Extracellular Electrical Stimulation in a Retina Feb’13 – April’13
Developed a mathematical model of a retinal implant for extracellular electrical stimulation of the bipolar-ganglion pathway as used in visual prosthetic systems. This implant was integrated into a large-scale retinal neural network and enabled successful image processing by the model.
iArthro System- 3D Joint Imaging Nov’11 - Apr’12
Developed a disposable, radiation-free imaging modality for use in arthroscopic repairs for a StrykerTM sponsored design program. The d...
