Featured projects

Project What it does Result
paraexp-webster (with Ruth Parajó) Time-parallel solver for the Webster equation modelling sound propagation in the human vocal tract: spectral elements in space, Crank-Nicolson in time, accelerated with the ParaExp parallel-in-time algorithm (C++/Eigen/OpenMP). Up to 1.25× speedup at 16 processes; ParaExp and serial Crank-Nicolson recover identical vowel formant frequencies, confirming correctness
eim-for-muscle-contraction-detection Signal processing + ML pipeline (filtering → feature extraction → classification) that detects muscle contraction type from electrical impedance myography, for upper-limb prosthesis control 0.95 classification accuracy; presented at IEEE USBEREIT 2025
spatial-harmonics Spherical-harmonics-based neural layer for the 3D spatial-attention block in a speech representation model ~40% parameter reduction with no accuracy loss; presented at Student Spring University Forum 2025
temporal-filters Learnable wavelet / sinc parameterized temporal filters usable as preprocessing layers in EEGNet, SpatialNet, FBCSP and similar architectures Reusable filter-layer library for EEG deep-learning pipelines
