Research @ UCI GATI
Research @ UCI GATI BEAM Program
Over the summer 2025, I worked with Dr. Akbari in this Digital Signal Processing Lab at UC Irvine, under the University of California Irvine X Gifted And Talented Institute (UCI x GATI) Bio Engineering AI Medicine (BEAM) UCI GATI BEAM summer program for high school students.
Motivation
Cardiac arrest affects almost half a million people in the US per year. It affects not just the heart but the brain as well. The brain is highly vulnerable during cardiac arrest and early resuscitation. Multimodal tools (ECoG, optical imaging, vitals) can be used to monitor patients and help improve outcome.
Goal
Optimizing brain recovery to improve neurological outcome post-Cardiac Arrest. My cohort worked with the Digital Signal Processing team of Dr. Akbari's lab whose main goal was to interpret the signals from surgeries.
