About
During my undergraduate studies, I have got huge interest in rehabilitation engineering and amazed how technology can improve human life’s quality. As an undergraduate researcher, I worked in Human-Interface Lab for discriminating facial expressions to read user intention. At BRHML, my current research is to elucidate the neurological mechanism of a rehabilitation therapy for upper limb hemiparesis stroke patients. In order for that, a robotic rehabilitation system that can perform a therapy intervention had been developed. I’m currently working on to automate this usually time consuming therapeutic intervention process and understand the underlying mechanism.
