Engineering students at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania are looking to improve wearable sensors that capture human movements.
Devices that monitor body movements and other wearable technology play a vital role in the fields of health care, robotics and many other applications. The sensors that are used in these devices are lightweight and flexible but require high precision.
That’s where Parks comes in. Under the direction of faculty mentor Jheng-Wun Su, assistant professor of engineering, Parks is working in the lab at SRU four days a week and is being paid a stipend through SRU’s Summer Collaborative Research Experience (SCoRE) grant program.
