Research Publications
The Young Researcher (Peer-Reviewed Research Journal): I was one of 20 students in the nation to be selected for publication in "The Young Researcher" - a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research.
College Board: I was one of 2 students in the country selected by the College Board, whose research work was published as a perfect scoring exemplar model for the AP Research course.
Project Description:
Over 7.5 million people experience speech impairments due to conditions like stroke, ALS, and cerebral palsy. Current solutions, such as eye and cheek trackers, can be inefficient and costly. To solve this, I developed SpeakUp, a machine learning-based speech aid. Even if patients can’t speak, their brain still sends signals to their speech muscles. SpeakUp captures these subtle signals using modern sensors and translates them into speech. This device allows paralyzed patients to communicate in real-time with an accuracy of 80.1%, and it was developed for under $100.
