Experience
Research Engineer, Company Name, December 2018-CurrentCity, State
  • Upgraded the multi-modal data acquisition and analysis solution for the VIVE Labs to a new event triggered system running on LabVIEW, cutting average data synchronization errors of 135 milliseconds by 74%.
  • Developed a 8-sensor body wireless tracking system on a Raspberry Pi to track the trajectory of limbs during physical activity, saving the principal investigator $28K in expenses.
  • Constructed tests and troubleshoot sophisticated instrumentation used in biomechanics projects and experiments.
  • Assisted with the development of novel research paradigms and the development of equipment required to execute the effort.
Research Engineer, Company Name, June 2018-August 2018City, State
  • Developed testing standards and process to validate algorithms responsible for measuring breathing tidal volume and variability changes recorded from an embedded inertial tracking sensor.
Lab Technician, Company Name, May 2012-June 2018City, State
  • Modified the operational controls of $250K instrumented virtual reality dome using LabVIEW, effectively cutting process bottlenecks that reduced data collection inefficiency by up to 40%. And resulted in awards of $3 million from federal grants over 2-years.
  • Developed re-usable data capture and analysis code for 7+ labs, effectively saving principal investigators $45K in consulting fees and 100+ development hours.
  • Designed, and developed complex testing equipment for 7+ labs, saving principal investigators $85K in new commercial research equipment purchasing.
  • Developed a wrist mounted wearable inertial measurement system from arm swing amplitude monitoring in elderly and Parkinson's patients. (Patent issued).
Research Engineering , Company Name, May 2005-May 2011City, State
  • Designed and built vibro-tactile system to type II sensory fiber (group Aα) in the Achilles tendon to improve up-weighting of lower limb proprioception for postural control in humans.
  • Utilized MATLAB to analyze the mechanism of sensorimotor integration of vision, vestibular and proprioceptive information within a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) framework.
  • Utilized the LabVIEW VI Library for the Compumotor 6K Motion Controller to program trajectories of the LX80L Long Travel Miniature Table actuator to produce mechanical perturbations at the upper and lower body through springs attached to standing and walking subjects.
  • Utilized LABVIEW to program movement trajectories of a MB-E-6DOF/12/1000KG Moog Inc. platform for the purpose of passively recreating oscillatory head movements during locomotion on a seated subject.
  • Supervised the design of a camera-based tracker system using OpenCV for treadmill visual biofeedback during locomotion. (Patent issued)
