Biomedical Engineer
Battelle Memorial Institute
Columbus, Ohio, United States
I have spent the past 14 years researching human neurophysiological data using a wide range of technology. My research has spanned the fields of electrophysiology, biomechanics, engineering, and neuroscience. Across each of these disciplines, I have sought to develop novel methods to measure high-fidelity human physiological data from real-world environments. I developed benchmark techniques for proper measurement and analysis of high-density electroencephalography (EEG) data recorded during locomotion. I applied these techniques to mobile EEG recordings and identified specific changes in cortical activation that were correlated with increased levels of stress. Building off this experience with high-density electrode systems, my doctoral research explored the use of high-density electromyography (EMG) during walking and running to measure the spatial properties of muscle activation. As part of this research, I developed an electrical phantom for objective, ground-truth measurements across various EMG systems, a device that will be heavily utilized in this current research proposal. My current work at Battelle builds on the principles from my past research experiences by working to leverage motor intention from real-time physiological data for improved rehabilitation among different clinical populations. My long-term research goal is to leverage human physiological data to improve the health and quality of life for individuals living with neurological disorders.
