My research focuses on developing wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based sensing systems for real-time gait analysis and fall prevention in elderly adults.</p> <h2 id="research-focus">Research Focus</h2> <p>My work integrates multiple sensing modalities to develop practical solutions for improving mobility and quality of life. I specialize in:</p> <ul> <li>Real-time gait analysis using distributed IMU sensor networks</li> <li>Foot clearance estimation for fall prevention</li> <li>Adaptive haptic feedback systems for gait correction</li> <li>Android mobile applications for sensor data acquisition</li> <li>Machine learning for terrain and obstacle classification</li> </ul> <h2 id="background">Background</h2> <p>I hold a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and biomedical research. My work spans hardware integration, software development, and biomechanical analysis, bridging the gap between laboratory research and practical applications.</p>
