George Mason University's Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition is held annually to showcase gradaute student research from all disciplines and departments. It is a university wide event where any doctoral students that have advanced to candidacy are eligible to present their thesis work in three minutes, using just one static slide with no animations or dynamic content.

Presented work comparing differences in control exhibited by users while manipulating a virtual cursor using either position-baed or velocity-based systems. The paper titled "Volitional control of target position using sonomyography" was presented virtually as a runner-up in the annual competition.

Engaged in multidisciplinary team science to understand and attempt to mitigate the problems faced by persons with Parkinson’s disease. Delivered, as part of a team, the conceptual framework for a phone-based application to enable data-rich communication between patients, their care-givers and physicians for chronic monitoring of symptoms using a thorough customer discovery process.

Presented work on designing and experimenting with a haptic display to deliver a non-noxious set of thermal cues to the skin, capable of inducing an immediate burning sensation, without exposing the skin to any damage. The phenomenon is known as Thermal Grill Illusion. The paper titled "Too hot, too fast! using the thermal grill illusion to explore dynamic thermal perception" was presented as a finalist in the Student Paper Competition
