Research Interests:

I am a Ph.D. student in Systems Design Engineering working under the supervision of Dr. Ning Jiang. My research interests are in applied machine learning, biosignal analysis, and neural engineering and rehabilitation. I am currently working on studying and developing novel decoding methods for EEG-based visual BCIs directed towards the measurement and induction of motor neural plasticity. Specifically, I am interested in augmenting paradigms such as action observation and motor imagery BCIs. I have also worked on channel selection methods, convolution neural networks (CNN) and novel stimulus designs for enhancing the performance of steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) based BCIs. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing the keyboard, composing music, cooking, and reading about spirituality.

Other Experience:

Biosignal Research Engineer at Muse by Interaxon working on developing automated sleep staging algorithms and machine learning for biosignal analysis (EEG, PPG). Software developer at Wipro technologies working on 5G and network analytics.
