ABOUT ME

I am a Biomedical Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and over 10 years of research experience in the development and evaluation of assistive technologies, human–machine interfaces, and neurotechnology. My research background spans physiological signal processing, human–technology interaction, and the design of technology-based solutions to improve human function and accessibility.

Throughout my academic and applied research career, I have worked with EEG, EMG, computer vision, and machine learning, combining engineering approaches with experimental and human-centered research. My previous work includes the development of eye-controlled powered wheelchairs, facial-expression-based assistive technologies, and investigations of brain–computer interfaces in clinical and pediatric populations.

I am currently a Research Assistant at the Neuromuscular Control and Biomechanics Laboratory (NCBL), University of Alberta, where I contribute to research involving wearable technologies, biomechanics, and human movement assessment.
