Research
Software Design Intern: Dr. Hui Han, Cedars-Sinai
Development of novel MRI Receiver/Shim coil technology
June 2018 – September 2018
- Gained 50 hours of experience in MATLAB and machine learning algorithms
- Applied optimization techniques to reduced coils by 58% (from 68 to 40 coils), while retaining shimming capability (<10% reduction), reducing power consumption and cost of device
- Wrote and presented weekly technical progress reports to update team members and advisors on optimization progress
Technical Projects
Senior Design Capstone Project
Smart non-invasive EEG system for young rats
September 2017 – March 2018
- Developed a EEG electrode cap for young rats. This system is non-invasive and modular, allowing for humane animal tests and flexibility in experimental design
- Consulted researchers studying pediatric brain injury to identify mount constraints
- Gained over 30 hours in CAD software experience in Fusion 360, and performed extensive research into manufacturing constraints for 3D printing techniques
- Paper was accepted to IEEE EMBC 2018 Conference in Honolulu Hawaii
