Profile Summary

I am a PhD researcher in Rehabilitation Science at McGill University with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, control systems, and biomedical innovation. My research bridges clinical needs and engineering solutions, with a focus on developing user-centered technologies that improve mobility and quality of life for people with disabilities. Over the past several years, I have led and contributed to projects at the intersection of rehabilitation, robotics, and virtual reality, including: Development of a Manual Wheelchair Training Simulator using VR and AI-based propulsion pattern recognition to enhance user training outcomes. Design and prototyping of a 3D-printed drug compounding device for pediatric use, improving dosage precision and patient compliance. Creation of control and feedback systems for robotic testbenches, involving real-time sensing, DC motor control, and force feedback. Research in accessible VR experiences, including a MITACS internship to co-develop and evaluate VR-based awareness programs for museum staff working with visitors with disabilities. My skill set includes: Biomedical and mechanical device design (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, 3D printing) Human biomechanics and movement analysis (MATLAB, Python, OpenSim) Robotics, control systems, and embedded programming (ROS, Arduino, Simulink) Academic and grant writing (published manuscripts, peer-reviewed conference papers) Clinical study design, data analysis, and validation I also co-founded Tavantech, a startup focused on commercializing advanced rehabilitation technologies, and have experience navigating product development, market analysis, and early-stage validation. I’m passionate about applying rigorous science and innovative engineering to meaningful, real-world problems. If you’re seeking an expert to contribute to research, prototyping, or scientific writing in health tech, rehabilitation, or biomedical engineering, I’d be happy to collaborate.
