Aubrey is a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University. She joined Dr. Coté’s Optical and Bio-Sensing Laboratory in June 2023 as an undergraduate researcher and transitioned to a graduate researcher in May 2024. Her research focuses on the development and evaluation of multimodal wearable biosensing technologies for continuous cardiovascular monitoring. Her work investigates the integration and performance of sensing modalities, including photoplethysmography, electrocardiography, and strain-gauge sensors, for measuring physiological metrics such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and cuffless blood pressure in wearable devices. This research aims to advance reliable, noninvasive health-monitoring technologies that can operate during everyday activities and under dynamic conditions. In addition to sensor development and physiological signal analysis, Aubrey has developed expertise in embedded systems and device prototyping using Arduino-based platforms, mechanical design in SolidWorks, and data analysis in MATLAB and Python. Her work also includes experimental protocol development, signal processing, and hands-on device fabrication, including PCB assembly, soldering, and wearable device integration. Aubrey plays a leadership role in the laboratory, supervising and mentoring undergraduate researchers on wearable device development projects and guiding experimental design, device prototyping, and data collection efforts. She has also contributed to intellectual property development within the lab and is an inventor on patents related to wearable biomedical sensing technologies.
