📖 Summary

Ph.D Candidate on MSCS (GT-Bionics Lab) @ Georgia Institute of Technology Ph.D candidate on the development of the Multi-Modal Speech Tracking System (MSTS) to be used by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to improve speech performance assessment during therapies.Work done:- Development of the software to acquire, process, display and analyze sensor data from 3 different speech modalities: tongue movement (localization of magnetic field data), lip movements (video) and voice (waveform and spectrogram from stereo microphones)- Implemented real-time localization of magnetic data using Downhill Simplex (Nelder-Mead) optimization - Development of bio-visual feedback algorithms (in collaboration with other team members) to generate scores representative of speech performance based on pattern matching methods (e.g., Procrustes, Dynamic Time Warping)- Creation and redaction of protocols approved by IRB- Collected speech data from healthy subject to test our speech feedback algorithms- Principal coordinator with our collaborators (Dr. Patel at Northeastern University, Dr. Wilson at the University of West Georgia)- Guest Lecturer at the University of West Georgia on novel non-invasive techniques to capture speech articulators’ movements Greater Atlanta AreaGraduate Researcher on TDS-HM (GT-Bionics Lab) @ Georgia Institute of Technology Research on the development of a proportional control algorithm for the Tongue Drive System (TDS) used in a hybrid robotic rehabilitation system with the Hand-Mentor (Kinetic Muscles Inc.) to accelerate recovery of impaired limbs for individuals suffering from brain and/or spinal cord injuries.- Development of a machine learning algorithm to track position of a magnet attached to the tongue - Development of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) software interface in Windows (C#) and Linux (C++) to acquire sensor data from a custom-built BLE headset composed of magnetic sensors, accelerometers and a gyroscope- Refactor wrapper program (LabVIEW) to improve performance and enforce good programming practices- Principal coordinator with our collaborators at Dr. Krusienski’s lab at Old Dominion University From January 2015 to June 2015 (6 months) Région de Atlanta, États-UnisPHD Student @ Georgia Institute of Technology Interest in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Embedded Systems. From June 2014 to January 2015 (8 months) Greater Atlanta AreaFellow @ Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results (TI:GER) Leading a team of MBAs (Georgia Tech) and JDs (Emory University) to commercialize my research project: the Multimodal Speech Capture System (MSCS).Through entrepreneurship classes and hands-on experience, we are working towards building a startup that would design and manufacture the MSCS to meet the needs of speech-language pathologists and their patients.
