About AI-ReHaB REU Site

AI-ReHaB NSF REU site focuses on developing and improving AI and sensor technology for the betterment of healthcare. We explore innovative technology regarding machine learning, health sensor design, and improvement, amongst others, to accomplish this task.

 

AI-ReHaB Program Highlights

During AI-ReHaB, REU, students can expect to develop their AI knowledge in trending fields related to the healthcare industry by leveraging sensing, machine learning algorithms, and biomedical techniques to develop advanced models and equipment.

  • Research Projects: Students design and complete an independent project with faculty and graduate mentors, presenting their work at the REU Symposium. 
  • Professional Development: Develop your AI knowledge in emerging fields related to healthcare and security through cohort sessions, literature review seminars, and guest speakers. Build skill through practice presentations, career panels with STEM professionals, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. 
  • Personal Growth: Learn teamwork through group excursions, and develop discipline through local activities and access to world-class rowing.

Focus Areas of Research

Adaptable Monitoring Systems

We explore novel optical device architecture for spectroscopy detection with thin film electronics, as well as quantification of signals and how existing systems can be improved using AI.

Multimodal Sensors

Students will explore multimodal sensor design and implementation for detecting health deterioration in critical areas such as cardiac or mobility issues. Students will incorporate AI to help improve sensor performance and detection rates.

IoT Infrastructure in Smart Health

We explore novel IoT sensing equipment for real-world detection and evaluation of mental fatigue in patients, exploring how to improve the design of such sensors through the use of AI technologies.

Personal Growth

Students can build teamwork and develop the discipline that supports long-term success through world-class rowing and unforgettable sunrise views.

Field Trips

Students visited CREST to learn about autonomous open-water craft, sensing technologies, and environmental monitoring.

Beyond Summer

Kandice continued her work after summer and presented the work at MRS Fall 2025 conference in Boston.  We look forward to her publication in MRS Communications.

Team Building

Students engage in team building while exploring Miami, and summer offers the perfect time to enjoy the city’s wide variety of fresh, local fruits.

Unique Experience

Miami offers a diverse, unforgettable experience.  On the weekends, students can explore vibrant neighborhoods, enjoy world-class food and culture, and take advantage of the year-round outdoor activities.
