Biomechanics research
October 2018 - December 2019
I worked in Stanford University's Human Performance Lab as a research biomedical engineer. I was on a team that was conducting a clinical trial on knee osteoarthritis. My typical week involved writing MATLAB code, using OpenSim to simulate walking, conducting experiments in the motion capture lab, working on my own study, and participating in lab meetings. I co-authored a paper that was published in 2022 (link to paper below). Click below for more information on the lab.
NASA Sample Return Challenge
Summer 2015
I wrote computer vision programs in Python for a robot competing in the NASA Sample Return Challenge. Programs allowed the robot to autonomously retrieve a variety of objects in a field such as a purple rock, engraved metal objects, and a tennis ball. I used machine learning, Hough Circle Transform, and blob detection which were based on programs from Adrian Rosebrock's excellent blog PyImageSearch.
