Seraphina is a Biomedical engineering senior at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
In lab, Seraphina is involved in the neuroplasticity studies in stroke patients, and in studies focused on the role of intracortical inhibition on declining grip force control in aging. She runs the EEG and grip force sensor experiments in lab, and assists with data collection and analysis using MATLAB.
Besides the neuroplasticity studies in this lab, Seraphina has worked with our RERC collaboration on the use of accelerometry to quantify purposeful upper extremity movements in patients with stroke. In that context, her effort focused on annotating patient videos for ground truth validation and using MATLAB scripts for machine learning classification of 24x7 accelerometry data.
