My passion for engineering the future of medicine has led me to pursue opportunities to work on engineering research that has medical applications. During my undergraduate program at MIT, I conducted biomaterials research to develop better interfaces between electronics and biological tissues. During my PhD program in Mechanical Engineering Stanford University, I developed methods of controlling wearable robotic device (exoskeletons) to enhance balance ability in older adults, and developed and deployed a smartphone-based platform for self-monitoring of sensory function.
