Research experience

January 2021 - present: Szablowski Lab for Noninvasive Neuroengineering Rice Neuroengineering Initiative Advisors: Dr. Jerzy Szablowski, Manwal Harb

• Evaluate multiplexed neuromodulation via Acoustically Targeted Chemogenetics (ATAC) in a mouse model
  • Implement focused ultrasound for blood-brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO) to evaluate feasibility of using ATAC in multiple areas.
• Evaluated novel method of non-invasive brain biopsy via Focused Ultrasound (FUS)
• Implemented fringe projection profilometry (FPP) to optimize focused ultrasound calibration for blood-brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO) to improve ATAC.
  • Developed software programs for fringe projection mapping, calibration of the hardware, and data processing/visualization (MATLAB, C).

May 2023 - present: Orsborn Lab University of Washington Center for Neurotechnology Advisors: Dr. Amy Orsborn, Katherine Perks

• Implement a self-supervised neural electrocorticography (ECoG) decoder for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) using cross-modal data on non-human primates

April 2021 - March 2023: Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education Stanford University School of Medicine Advisors: Dr. Lauren Eggert, Dr. Malathi Srinivasan, Dr. Shanthi Kappagoda, Dr. Gloria Kim, Dr. Latha Palaniappan

• Studied sleep quality and duration in disaggregated ethnic groups to identify patterns and risk factors on sleep metrics.
• Investigated vaccination rates, patterns, and policy in disaggregated Asian subgroups to study influence of policy and ethnic disparities on immunization.
• Analyzed National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data using R Studio.
