PhD research (2021-present)

Summary

I am currently a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering at MIT. I work in the Device Realization Lab with PI Dr. Brian Anthony.

My research is focused on low-cost volume ultrasound methods. I am developing computational methods for clinical translation of volume ultrasound, utilizing off-the-shelf sensors to adapt a standard ultrasound machine. This involves building algorithms to robustly reconstruct noisy 2D images into a 3D volume rendering for diagnostics and interpretation. Additionally, we are demonstrating the use of volume ultrasound for longitudinal monitoring in dogs with a muscle wasting condition. Finally, I aim to create a human-in-the-loop visualization and guidance system to increase accessibility of ultrasound acquisition.

My other general research interests include medical devices, medical ultrasound, translational research, engineering education, and participatory design.
