Detection and Intervention of FoG Events in Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Designed an AI-based user-friendly wearable device for real-time detection and active intervention of Freezing of Gait (FoG) events in Parkinson's disease patients. The device delivers cueing and mobility stimulation interventions, utilizing soft vibrations to support normal gait and strong, directed vibrations to assist in overcoming detected FoG episodes.

ProtoGen: A Hardware Prototyping and Design Automation Platform

Building an end-to-end pipeline that extracts design requirements via interactive questioning, selects components aligned with optimization parameters, auto-generates wiring schematics with live simulation context, and exports production-ready design files to accelerate hardware prototyping. (in-progress)

iLog 2.0: A Novel Method for Food Nutritional Value Automatic Quantification in Smart Healthcare

Developed NuTRILog, an app for automatically estimating the nutritional value of food to encourage a more healthy, balanced diet. The app utilizes a novel deep learning-based food quantification system composed of an SSD EfficientNetB0 with FPN food classification and localization model and an OpenCV standard-size card edge-detection algorithm.

Deep Learning-Based Segmentation for Automated Region of Interest Selection of Hyper-Reflective Foci in Optical Coherence Tomography Images Improves

Created an automated region of interest selection methodology to improve deep learning-based segmentation of hyper-reflective foci (HRF) in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The methodology implements a patch-based semantic segmentation model using a ResNet34 architecture with Binary Cross-Entropy loss, achieving high IOU scores for identifying HRF biomarkers in OCT data.
