Over 14 million people are affected by increased intracranial pressure (ICP) due to traumatic brain injury or conditions like hydrocephalus, which causes excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This research aims to develop and test a novel remote impedance measurement system (RIMS) that uses wireless power transfer between an external ultrasound emitter and an implanted…

This project analyzed real-world race data from collegiate triathletes to identify which race segments best predict overall sprint triathlon performance. A multiple linear regression model revealed that the bike split had the strongest influence on total time, with transitions also contributing meaningfully. Using these insights, an interactive tool was developed in Python to help athletes…

This study investigates whether uncomfortable footwear increases neural activation in the primary somatosensory cortex by measuring brain hemodynamic activity via fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy). Participants first walked on a treadmill for 5 minutes wearing their regular shoes, then repeated the trial after inserting provided uncomfortable shoe padding, while oxygenated hemoglobin levels, a key indicator of…

The goal of this study is to take new individuals, undeveloped in the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do, and track their center of mass acceleration variability using Motion Capture technology with Ki Gong meditation acting as an intervention. Video Research poster View the poster Health

The project looked into the effects of air quality specifically PM 2.5 on cognitive and motor scores. Physics based motor task game “Super G” was played by 878 participants which were linked with their zip code to determine the effects of environmental data and participant performance. The goal was to investigate whether poor air quality…

This study aims investigate the impact of vibration on localized tissue oxygenation using NIRS biosensors. Participants were exposed to mechanical vibration, and oxygenation levels were monitored across baseline, post-vibration, and recovery phases. Results showed a significant increase in both oxygenated hemoglobin and total hemoglobin, with sustained elevated levels during recovery, suggesting a lasting physiological effect…

Current techniques involving the assessment and rehabilitation of peripheral neuropathies, neurological disorders, and traumatic injuries for motor control of hand digit forces fail to properly capture the complexities involved in multi-digit force coordination. By creating a protocol that is able to decompose multi-digit force coordination by extracting manipulation and grasping properties using principles in robotics,…

This study investigates how augmented reality (AR)-based visual feedback distortion (VD) influences step length symmetry during treadmill walking. By comparing AR-based feedback with traditional monitor-based feedback, this research aims to determine whether AR can enhance gait symmetry adaptation and prolong retention of aftereffects. The findings of this study have the potential to inform more effective…

The Role of Lattice Geometry in Optimizing Necrotic Cell Washout in 3D-Printed Femoral Head Models” applied project explores how internal lattice bone structure affects the efficiency of the necrotic washout in femoral heads affected by avascular necrosis (A VN). Each 3D printed model was constructed out of resin and polylactic acid (PLA) materials with varying…

This study created a scalable microcarrier-based technology for converting hiPSCs into fully developed neurons for Alzheimer’s disease research. Neural progenitor cells were grown and differentiated for 40 days before being enzymatically separated into healthy single-cell suspensions. Immunofluorescence and calcium imaging validated neuronal identity and function, allowing for use in disease models and medication testing. Video…
