There exists a need to create new tools that can scan for brain injury and neurological impairment using portable and low-cost tools such as mobile phones and Virtual Reality headsets. Such technologies have found modern applications in sports and military training, as well as in schools monitoring for ASD, ADHD and Dyslexia. This research will advance the development of a virtual reality (VR) platform for neurocognitive health assessment by integrating immersive cognitive tasks with real-time multimodal physiological monitoring. The platform will combine analytic algorithms, machine learning techniques, and multimodal neuroimaging data to support both clinical and research applications.

Bringing my background in the armed services and skills in software development, I feel fortunate to be able to apply myself developing tools to assist in cognitive health assessment that may find applications across many domains. I look forward to gaining experience bridging the gap between user-facing software development and data collection and analysis for health research.
