Hello,
my name is Em:
I am a research scientist in the field of medical imaging, working for KurtLab at the University of Washington. I recently earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Washington in 2024. My current research is developing MR-compatible devices and signal processing for diagnostic purposes and determining the mechanical properties of the human brain in-vivo. I also earned my M.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Medical Device Engineering, from Stevens Institute of Technology and my B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from The College of New Jersey. My undergraduate research was in assistive devices. My independent research project was developing and testing a five-fingered 3-D printed gip and pinch force augmenting exoskeleton for the human hand.
