Work Experience

TU EINDHOVEN | RESEARCH INTERN

Sept. 2016 Present | Eindhoven, NL
Completed comprehensive research on motion sickness(MS) and its
mechanisms in support of MS research in autonomous vehicles
Proposed a novel hypothesis relating motion sickness(MS), autonomic

vertical theory of MS
Currently working on retrofitting a van to simulate an autonomous vehicle.
Hypothesis will be tested using visual/tactile and audio modalities.
Physiological measuring techniques combined with statistical data analysis will be
employed to test soundness of hypothesis
