Research

RoSenCo Lab

I have been an undergraduate researcher with the Robotics and Sensorimotor Control Lab (RoSenCo Lab) since 2024. My focus is:

Analyzing data on the facilitators and inhibitors for stroke patients to participate in stroke-related research
Investigating how electrotactile stimuli are perceived in younger and older adults and relating this data to that of stroke survivors

EMG-Controlled Prosthetic Hand

I served as a team lead for an engineering team that built an electromyography-controlled prosthetic for those with an amputated hand from 2023 to 2025.

I lead the coding subteam and designed and programmed a simulation of the electronics using Arduino and virtual sensors.

The team leads presented research at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in 2025.
