About Me
I am a third-year PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maine’s Biorobotics and Biomechanics Lab, supervised by Dr. Babak Hejrati. My research focuses on developing wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based sensing systems for real-time gait analysis and fall prevention in elderly adults.
Research Focus
My work integrates multiple sensing modalities to develop practical solutions for improving mobility and quality of life. I specialize in:
- Real-time gait analysis using distributed IMU sensor networks
- Foot clearance estimation for fall prevention
- Adaptive haptic feedback systems for gait correction
- Android mobile applications for sensor data acquisition
- Machine learning for terrain and obstacle classification
Background
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.
