Employment History

2017–Present Associate Research Fellow at UOW, School of Nursing
The research and development of a prototype for observation of vital signs. The project will focus on research and development of a device with real-world application. It will develop a prototype device to be used by health staff enabling them to target and measure a client’s vital signs without disturbing their sleep. Moreover, specifically, the project will develop a tablet like handheld device that measure approximate temperature, breathing rate and heart rate from a distance of up to 3 meters.
