Research Scientist
Oct 2023 –
Present
Natick, Massachusetts
Responsibilities:
* Led multiple DIU & DOD-funded R&D teams to develop real-time physiological sensing systems (non-contact polygraph, biofeedback tools) using radar, RGB, depth, and thermal sensors — currently deployed to end-users.
* Developing an embedded lighting+optics hardware/software camera (Basler/Jetson) for chest motion analysis; output real-time signals from NIR camera input via a Python/C ++/ZeroMQ backend.
* Designed and launched ultra-low-latency, distributed multimodal capture system supporting 120Hz+ data streams from 12+ high-bandwidth cameras (ZeroMQ/PCL).
* Delivered full-stack solutions: sensor fusion/processing, user applications, and update/QA frameworks for deployment.
* Authored multiple patents, proposals, internal coding standards; mentored junior engineers.
