Professional Achievements

Research

My research interest focuses on Virtual Reality and robotic assisted rehabilitation system design and development. I was the principal engineer that designed the NJIT RAVR system and the NJIT TrackGlove systems. I participated in two large studies examining the use of these systems in children with CP and adults with stroke.
I also designed all of the kinematic testing software for these studies. Since then, along with Amanda Cronce, I designed the NJIT-HoVRS system. Currently, I am leading the system feasibility and effectiveness study.
