New wireless sensor technology developed at WPI is bringing newfound hope to those with limb loss.
I am interested in applying engineering and science skills to problems in medicine and human health. Currently, I am focusing on understanding the electrical activity of human skeletal muscles (EMG) for applications including the control of powered prostheses (e.g., prosthetic hands, elbows, and legs), the clinical diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases, and worker safety/ergonomics. Over the course of my career, I have been involved in many other biomedical research/development projects, including studying the electrical activity of the heart (ECG) and blood pressure in individuals who might be at risk for sudden cardiac death, studying the electrical activity of the brain (EEG) to help in the proper delivery of anesthesia during surgery, and studying hand muscles during work tasks (in the interest of reducing injuries).
