Biography
* Due to the global pandemic I started my co-op at GE Healthcare’s ARC division a more than a month earlier than expected. At GE, I work on integrating & developing their next generation FPGA based products and helping with dual sourcing of electrical components for the R-860 respiratory.
I am pursuing a M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Professor Younghyun Kim. I love learning and developing new ideas in the embedded research community and applying them to healthcare applications. My career goal is to develop accessible healthcare technologies that have broad and positive impacts on society. Current research interests of mine include low power wearable technology such as human activity recognition and arrhythmia detection.
