Founder, Chair, and Principal Investigator of NeuriSight - building next-generation psychiatric patient monitoring to make acute mental health care safer, more data-driven, and more humane. Experience includes AI data and modeling workflows as a SME, systems engineering, and research commercialization work within technology transfer settings. Led multidisciplinary technical projects spanning analytics, documentation, and system design.
THE PROBLEM I'M SOLVING
Acute psychiatric escalation (agitation, self-harm, violence) is often detected too late, leading to traumatic restrictive interventions that harm patients and strain nursing teams. Current monitoring is intermittent, subjective, and reactive - we need continuous, data-driven, nurse-centered systems.
WHAT I'M BUILDING
NeuriSight combines wearable physiological monitoring, AI-based risk prediction, and real-time incident documentation into the first end-to-end platform designed for frontline psychiatric nurses - not just research prototypes, but tools nurses can actually use at the bedside.
CURRENT STAGE
Leading NIH R34 feasibility research proposal development (services research pilot targeting inpatient psychiatric units). Building clinical advisory relationships with psychiatric nursing experts at major hospital systems. First research manuscript in preparation on predictive monitoring methodology.
MY APPROACH
I translate complex clinical needs into executable technical roadmaps - balancing hardware, data, workflow constraints, and regulatory/commercialization pathways. Deep expertise in wearable sensor systems (BSEE, Electrical Engineering), applied AI/ML workflows, project management (PM), and business strategy (MBA, Business Administration & Management). I bridge rigorous research design and real-world care delivery.
