Curriculum Vitae

Scientific Assistant

Biomedical and Mobile Health Technology Lab

• Scientific assistant at ETH Zürich's Biomedical and Health Technology (BMHT) Lab.
• Thesis topic: Improved materials and methods for motion tracking with textile capacitive strain sensors

Mitacs Accelerate Fellowship

ESS Technology

• Applied M.A.Sc. research to the industry project: high fidelity data converters for medical electronics.
• Delivered software tools and complete documentation to enable the design of high-performance data converters, reducing the amount of computationally-expensive simulation time required over empirical methods.

Teaching Assistant

University of British Columbia

• Teaching assistant for the Electrical and Computer Engineering department Capstone Project course.
• Ran weekly meetings with project groups, gave technical feedback and mentorship, and evaluated project progress milestones.

Research Trainee

B.C. Children's Hospital Research Institute

• Research Trainee at B.C. Children's Hospital Research Institute's Digital Health Innovation Lab (DHIL).
• Master's student at UBC's Electrical and Computer Engineering in Medicine (ECEM) group.
• Thesis topic: applying optimal control theory to the problem of designing high-performance analog-to-digital converter circuits while maintaining stability.

Software Developer

Lungpacer Medical

• Designed control algorithms for optimizing phrenic nerve stimulation using a prototype medical device.
• As part of a small team of software developers, implemented the logic and GUI for controlling the device with a desktop application.
• Devised and ran pre-clinical experiment protocols used to evaluate algorithms then presented experimental results within the company to guide development.
• Developed experiment data acquisition and processing software allowing real-time synchronization, calculation, display, and logging of experiment data collected from many independent sources.

Biomedical Engineering Co-op

Lungpacer Medical

• Worked with the Biomedical Team to collect physiological signals during a series of pre-clinical experiments in order to publish a study on diaphragm pacing efficacy.
• Performed large physiological signal processing and statistical data analysis tasks in order to evaluate algorithms, investigate stimulation efficacy, assist with publications, and produce reports.
• Wrote and improved many data analysis and testing software scripts.

Research Co-op

MENRVA Research Group (Menon Lab)

• Improved the design and fabrication process of electroactive polymer pressure cuff devices intended to treat orthostatic hypotension.
