Background
Biography
My research program integrates biosignal analysis, applied machine learning, and dynamical systems modeling to better understand sensorimotor control, cognition, and neurological disease. This includes developing novel computational methods for analyzing complex biomedical data using conventional clinical assessments as well as mobile and computer technologies. These methods support applications in assistive ambulatory device development, intraoperative neurosurgical systems, digital biomarker discovery, and machine-learning-enabled decision support.

New computational tool uses less processing power over shorter period of time to provide more accurate results
By combining conventional cognitive and motor assessments with mobile and computing technology and nonlinear feature space mapping, a new predictive model has been developed that could lead to tailored treatment to improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson's.
Forecasting through Recurrent Topology (FReT) offers a new approach to decode and forecast time-evolving dependencies in a time-series that reduces computational complexity and cost.
This new computational framework represents an important step towards the development of new sensor-aided technologies for assistive ambulatory devices.
Dormant neurons that slowly activate as the brain matures, may help us understand normal and abnormal neurodevelopment.
