Latest Project
COVID-19 Assisted-Patient Triage (CAPT)
The CAPT offers a rapidly scalable voice-driven phone and text based assistant that uses natural language processing to appraise patients’ answers for at-home triage. Project was among the winners of the MIT COVID-19 Challenge Hackathon (4/5/2020). Team members were Gregor Macadam, Nick Pan, Carly Raven, Adele Stewart, Ling U, Brian Weil.
Rehabilitation Projects
Networked Neuroprosthesis System
Developing digital signal processing algorithms to measure realtime heart rate and blood pressure from implanted functional electrical stimulation systems.
Biolumen
SinaiMedMaker hackathon project that uses biofeedback to wirelessly control parameters of a patient's environment such as lighting and ambient sound as well as trigger actions to a computer. Team members were Jen Lewin, Bill Magnuson, Austin Puckett, Andrew Abdou, and Salman Hirani.
Exoskeleton Gait Training System
Currently in design and prototype stage. Clinical trial pending.

Past Research Groups
Mount Sinai Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center
Clinical Research Coordinator, 2007-2010
Recruited patients for national clinical trials, administered cognitive testing and collected data, prepared IRB/NIH submissions, and maintained regulatory documents. Analyzed safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data for nutraceutical study. Served as liaison between the research center and the national Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Society.
Richard Wurtman, MD Lab for Neuroendocrine Regulation
Research Assistant, 2005-2007
Performed dietary experimentation in rats and gerbils to study neuroprotective benefits of chronic supplementation of uridine and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Co-authored articles related to the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g. DHA) on synaptic membrane synthesis in gerbils and rats. This animal research led to the active clinical trials of Souvenaid in U.S. and Europe as a possible treatment for cognitive decline in the elderly.
Saoirse Corporation
Research Intern, 2006
Aided in research and development of nanoparticle-based delivery of neuropharmaceuticals.
Computational Cognitive Science Group
Research Assistant, 2004
Designed and programmed computer-based cognitive experiments, and analyzed data to construct computational models of thought processes.
