RESEARCH PROJECTS
We are interested in system design for biomedical and rehabilitation systems in real-time closed-loop and embedded mobile healthcare applications, human computer interaction, and assistive technologies.
Real-time closed-loop tremor modulation using peripheral-nerve stimulation.
- Design and develop a wearable system for quantitative assessment and longitudinal monitoring system for upper limb tremor.
- Develop a non-invasive and wearable tremor modulation system that suppress the upper limb tremor using electrical and vibratory stimulation in real-time closed-loop control based on the motion sensors and EMG.
Quantitative tremor assessment and long-term tremor monitoring system
​
- Design and develop a method that categorizes the characteristics of tremor and the daily activities and monitors how the frequency and amplitude of tremor are varied among daily activities through the analysis of continuous and long-term measurements
Tongue Drive System for Spinal Cord Injuries.
​
- Design and develop the new Assistive Technology that enables individuals with severe disabilities to control their environment using their voluntary tongue motion with a small magnetic.
Rehabilitation devices for improving upper limb function for the stroke survivors.
- Design and develop new tools for a novel rehabilitation paradigm that uses the tongue voluntary motion to control an existing rehabilitation robotic exoskeleton.
The mobile version balance-training device.
-Design a cell phone based balance training device that can be used in the home to assist a patient with therapist-assigned balance exercises or in an environment where access to balance therapy is limited. The prototype comprises an iPhone, an auxiliary pager motor, and an audio amplifier.
UTDrive: Analysis and modeling of drivers' behavior.
​
-Analyze a statistical significance of real driving for drivers’ safety. This project includes data collection from real driving, analysis of drivers’ characteristics, and building a mathematical model.
