Recent research:
The collection of works presents a cohesive program at the intersection of biomedical engineering, microfluidics and advanced manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on measurement, validation and practical gait and device performance. Across studies, the author analyzes biomechanics of gait using inertial sensors to characterize how footwear, surface, and subject factors alter joint kinematics, emphasizing reliability through regression and error metrics, and highlighting implications for non-pharmacological interventions and targeted rehabilitation. In parallel, the microfluidics-focused research validates water velocity and capillary-driven flows in 3D-printed, SLA-fabricated microchannels, examining channel geometry, surface finish, and manufacturing parameters to enable accurate, repeatable fluid behavior and device design for biomedical diagnostics. The work also demonstrates the use of additive manufacturing to create compact micromixers and capillary-driven microchannels, addressing rapid mixing, light-bit end-to-end fabrication, and measurement methodologies, with performance metrics such as flow rates, mix index and processing times. A complementary set of studies investigates queuing, validation, and benchmarking in manufacturing contexts, using ANOVA and Taguchi designs to predict surface roughness (Ra) in machined parts, and to relate process parameters (strategy, feed) to final roughness and manufacturing costs. The integrated impact is a methodological blueprint for validating dynamic biomechanical signals, microfluidic device performance, and manufacturing quality, supported by precise measurement, modeling, and repeatable fabrication workflows that underpin translational applications in rehabilitation, diagnostics, and cost-effective production.
