Robust Low Power VLSI Design Group

• Student Researcher

  • Aug 2017 - Dec 2018

  Charlottesville, Virginia Area I interned in the VLSI Design Group on developing a project focused on sleep apnea. The goal of the project is to develop a low power and minimally invasive chip that can be implanted into a patient diagnosed with central or obstructive sleep apnea. I have done literature review work on sleep apnea implantation and detection methods that are currently being used and researched. I am currently working with a graduate student in the group on developing a front-end approach to collecting heart… Show more I interned in the VLSI Design Group on developing a project focused on sleep apnea. The goal of the project is to develop a low power and minimally invasive chip that can be implanted into a patient diagnosed with central or obstructive sleep apnea. I have done literature review work on sleep apnea implantation and detection methods that are currently being used and researched. I am currently working with a graduate student in the group on developing a front-end approach to collecting heart rate data and then designing an algorithm to detect sleep apnea. After developing a detection algorithm, the algorithm will be built on a custom digital accelerator for testing. Show less



Case Western Reserve University, Department of Biology

• Intern

  • Jun 2016 - Jun 2016

  Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area I interned with a team at Case Western Reserve University, School of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology creating virtual reality simulations tailored for a college course in neurobiology. Using the Unity Game Engine and Google Cardboard Virtual Reality, I presented abstract concepts in the brain in an engaging and interactive environment.



Case Western Reserve University’s, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

• Intern

  • Jun 2014 - Jan 2016

  Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area For two years, I interned with Principal Investigator Roberto Fernandez Galan at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I conducted brain research, specifically in the mammalian cortex using modern and traditional electrophysiological techniques. I also spent my time creating algorithms for computational analysis and image processing.



Department of Neurosciences

• High School Intern

  • Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

  Case Western Reserve University Worked with patch-clamp and multielectrode array technology in the lab analyzing the raw signals, using code in MATLAB, of data collected from the brain slices of PET1-knockout mice. Coded a signal analysis algorithm illustrating the firing of neurons propagating across a multielectrode array.
