Joint PhD with Neuropeps team (Unité des Troubles du Sommeil et de l’Eveil - CHU Gui de Chauliac) at Institute of Neurosciences of Montpellier under the academic supervision of Pr. Yves Dauvilliers. • Conducting longitudinal EEG research on narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia, using PSG and Waveband data to study sleep-wake patterns in real-world, home-based settings. • Implementing clinical study protocol and supporting coordination across recruitment, follow-up, documentation, and reporting, connecting clinical, research, and technical stakeholders. • Leading the integration and migration of the collected multimodal data into Beacon’s datastore, addressing interoperability challenges and preparing data for downstream analysis.
• Collaborated with clinicians, engineers, and researchers to advance clinical research in motion analysis, focusing on enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for patients with neuromotor impairments. • Conducted high-precision data collection and analysis using tools such as Vicon motion capture, force plates, EMG Cometa wave systems. Performed modeling and simulation with OpenSim, exploiting biomechanical models to simulate and analyze muscle dynamics and joint movements. • Applied advanced data science techniques to process and analyze complex datasets, driving innovation in clinical research and improving the understanding of movement disorders and rehabilitation strategies.
• Designed and developed test systems for neuromodulation medical devices, integrating custom PCBs and automated testing tools (e.g., Computer Vision) to ensure precise characterization, qualification, and production for spinal cord injury treatments. • Converted regulatory and product specifications into test protocols, ensuring compliance and optimizing performance through system updates, while monitoring KPIs for capability, repeatability, and throughput. • Collaborated cross-functionally with software, firmware, and systems teams to build scalable data storage infrastructure, enhance test reliability, and support the industrialization and calibration of final products.
• Co-founded Willift, a pioneering startup focused on empowering individuals with limited upper limb mobility through cutting-edge assistive technology designed to enhance independence and improve quality of life. • Led R&D efforts from concept to prototype, driving a patient-centered approach that integrated user needs and caregiver input. Orchestrated collaborative roundtables with healthcare professionals to refine design and functionality based on real-world feedback. • Forged strategic partnerships with design specialists and industry leaders, accelerating development and innovation to bring the assistive device closer to market readiness.
• Conducted a semester project titled "Brain and Muscles Activation to Control a Functional Electrical Stimulation-Based Intervention – BCI Rehabilitation Protocol for Stroke Patients" at the Translational Neuroengineering Lab under the supervision of Pr. Silvestro Micera and Dr. Valeria De Seta. • Performed real-time data acquisition and analysis using EEG and EMG signals, optimizing brain and muscle activity monitoring for precise and effective therapeutic interventions. • Managed and executed key research tasks, including protocol design, data processing, and outcome evaluation, ensuring the project’s alignment with clinical goals and patient needs.
