Worked in a joint lab with the Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design and the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering to improve current patient positioning equipment by designing an upright MRI-compatible staging device. 

This project deployed a user-centered design process and involved technical knowledge in CAD, Simulink, material and composite analysis, and rapid prototyping techniques. The final result was a comprehensive design report, with prototypes, to be evaluated by the contracting company to consider in order for re-design of their current market product.

The primary focus of the Seim Lab is “how to apply wearable, tactile interfaces to better understand and facilitate passive haptic learning and passive haptic rehabilitation.” 

Worked on development of a vibrating glove, the "Siem Glove", aimed to improve the elasticity and dexterity of stroke-affected patients. My responsibilities were to track and monitor patient progress in movement, muscle tone, and sensitivity in two 8-week studies. Through clinical assessment and the developed Semmes-Weinstein Exam, we aimed to assess digression of unilateral special neglect in patients wearing the Seim glove

As lead undergraduate researcher, I also handled laboratory and external patient logistics for 6 other undergraduate research assistants.

Student teacher for interdisciplinary course that guides students on how to make clinical observations for design changes.

The course identify problems in process, safety, and device utilization through research in Atlanta-area emergency departments, such as Grady Hospital Marcus-Trauma, Emory Midtown, and Kaiser Permanente. As a student teacher, I would co-teach lectures and training for students shadowing emergency department staffers as a teaching assistant
