What: I am pursuing PhD research with both Prof. Allison Okamura from the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine (CHARM) Laboratory and Prof. Scott Delp from the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab.
Developing and deploying a smartphone-based platform for self - monitoring of vibrotactile sensory acuity:
Lessons: Always check for edge-cases. Humans are quite variable!
Awards: National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, Stanford Graduate Fellow (Medtronic Foundations Fellow)

Developing and deploying a smartphone-based platform for self - monitoring of vibrotactile sensory acuity:
- Characterized smartphone vibrations and tuned their governing parameters to measure clinically relevant sensory response in humans
- Evaluated the reliability and resolution of the smartphone-based platform in measuring human vibration perception thresholds via one-day, in-lab and multi-day, at-home user studies with over 50 participants
- Built and led clinical collaborations with one endocrinologist and several neurologists at Stanford Hospital to evaluate the performance of the smartphone-based platform in classifying over 100 patients with varying levels of risk of developing diabetic peripheral neuropathy
- Contributed significantly to grants to support the project (awarded): Stanford Center for Digital Health ($50k, wrote grant and submitted independently), Stanford Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics ($200k, contributed figures and text), Stanford Diabetes Research Center ($25k, contributed figures and text)
- Presented project findings at various conferences, seminars, and journals (see Publications and Presentations below)
