Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by immune-mediated damage to esophageal tissue. This inflammation leads to symptoms such as dysphagia, food impaction, and structural changes over time. Current treatment strategies for EoE include dietary restrictions, proton pump inhibitors, and glucocorticoids, but they are often burdensome, inconsistent, and associated with many long-term side…

Over 400,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the United States, yet limited intraoperative visualization remains a significant contributor to surgical complications. Surgeons frequently report difficulty visualizing the cervical-vaginal junction during colpotomy, increasing the risk of injury to surrounding structures such as the bladder and ureters. Current uterine manipulators lack integrated illumination, creating a critical unmet…

Endovascular procedures require controlled guidewire manipulation; however, manual torque devices often cause inconsistent rotation, slippage, and operator fatigue [1]. These limitations can lead to procedural delays and complications. Surgeon surveys and stakeholder interviews show clinical need for improved torque precision, reduced fatigue, and safer wire handling. There are over 1 million annual endovascular procedures; demand…

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects approximately 30% of women worldwide, with up to 80% of patients experiencing recurrence within one year of treatment. Current therapies, including antibiotics and over-the-counter treatments, often fail to address the underlying cause of recurrence due to bacterial biofilm formation and disruption of the protective vaginal microbiome. This leads to repeated infections,…

This paper presents the design, development, and experimentation of a wireless, battery-free neural stimulation system utilizing an intraoral pathway for power delivery to deep brain targets for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Traditional neuromodulation systems require implantable pulse generators and wired leads. This introduces surgical risks and hardware complications. To address these limitations, a resonant…

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…
