Description:
The goals of my research are to optimize anesthetic dose through neuro-monitoring and to reduce the carbon footprint of our operating rooms. To that end, I am seeking a motivated undergraduate student interested in research on 1) EEG signal processing, 2) machine learning, 3) biomedical informatics to improve clinical outcomes, or 4) hospital sustainability.
This opportunity is particularly suited for someone in engineering or pre-med track with strong programming skills. My last two mentees' research led to authorship on multiple publications and both successfully matriculated to medical school.
Clinical shadowing opportunities in the operating room are also provided for interested students.
See full publication list here.
Preferred Qualifications
At least one year of programming experience is preferred (C, python, Matlab, R), and programming experience in machine learning and time-series signal processing is a big plus. Other preferred qualifications (by project) include:
- EEG signal processing: Experience with Matlab programming preferred to process time series data.
- Machine learning: Experience with R or python or other modern machine learning program
- Biomedical informatics to improve clinical outcomes: Experience with Excel or other data programming language (R, Python)
- Hospital sustainability. Ability to come on site to hospital
