Research Interests:
She develops real-time control systems for mechanical ventilation and LVADs, with a focus on hemolysis optimization, oxygenation regulation, and non-invasive monitoring. Her work bridges biomedical engineering and clinical implementation, including electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for lung perfusion analysis and phrenic nerve stimulation as alternatives to mechanical ventilation.
Publications:
Her recent articles (2024-2025) explore ventilator hysteresis modeling, closed-loop glucose control, ECMO thrombus detection, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Topics span from pandemic-specific device design to advanced algorithms for LVADs and bioimpedance applications.
Scientific Contributions:
Key projects include the SOLVe (Protective Ventilation) system, PV1000 pandemic ventilator, and multi-sensor vital monitoring platforms. She emphasizes robust control strategies and physiological modeling to improve medical device safety and adaptability.
