About Me
As a third-year physiology undergraduate student at the University of Alberta, I had the privilege
of working as an intern in the Neuromuscular Control and Biomechanics Lab for the summer of
2021 under the ELITE program. Throughout my entire high school and university career, I have
been solely focusing on health sciences. Since working in the NCLB, I have had the added
interest in pursuing biomedical engineering.

Project
Remote Health Monitoring of People with Multiple Sclerosis: In this study I focussed on evaluating the efficacy of two IMU sensors in capturing balance and movement disorders in
people with MS. Participants mounted the IMU sensors on the sternum and on the mastoid while doing daily activities and a series of walking-balance tests. Data was analyzed using MATLAB
software in attempts to quantify balance of movement in individuals with MS.
Quantifications of knee joint angle during pendulum tests using wearable IMU sensors:
Assisted in collecting data from pendulum tests using IMU sensors. Data collected was used to develop an algorithm to quantify knee joint angles. Further implications of SCI and other
neurological deficits could be analyzed using this algorithm.
