Focused on experimental ergonomics, user research, and anthropometric analysis to guide inclusive hardware sizing and design decisions.
Achievements
- Led anthropometric landmark analysis and designed experimental hardware with the biomechanics team to inform sizing, shape, SKU-count, and accommodation (patent pending)
- Designed and executed user studies to evaluate product accommodation, with emphasis on outlier populations
Developed ergonomic hardware innovation for VisionPro through mechanism design, prototyping, and user-centered evaluation
Achievements
- Improved ergonomics via mechanism design to accommodate diverse populations (patent pending)
- Built and tested iterative prototypes using rapid prototyping techniques
