Research

I am interested in applying engineering methodologies to understand translational medicine problems and improve the patient care. My main focus has been on improving blood glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes. I have experience in identifying relationships between different factors (i.e., physical activity, psychological stress) and daily blood glucose control in type 1 diabetes, developing human-centered algorithms to improve the blood glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes, and translating engineering research into clinically actionable information. Currently, I work on developing methods to improve blood glucose control in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.

Research Areas

Biomedical Control

Developing control systems for medical applications poses significant challenges, some of which are unique to this field. Physiological systems involve a multitude of interacting subsystems and networks, with multiple feedforward and feedback loops. The dynamics vary both between different individuals, and within the same individual over time. Measurement and estimation of both inter- and intra-patient […]

Systems Biology

The success of the human genome project has ushered in a new era that emphasizes a systemic or integrated approach to ascertain the cellular behavior arising from complex cellular networks. Scientists are now embarking on a quest to elucidate the organization and control of cellular networks that underlie the phenotypic behavior of a cell; these […]
