The major goals of the is project are 1) to characterize the magnitude and variability of exposure to physical risk factors among workers in large- and mega-herd dairy operations and 2) to evaluate interventions to mitigate exposures to physical risk factors during dairy work. In my role as a consultant to the project, I provide technical expertise in the instrumentation and signal processing used to estimate exposure to physical risk factors.

Inertial measurement units as a tool for simultaneous worker health protection and promotion CDC/NIOSH, via Healthier Workforce Center Pilot Program PI: Schall Role: Faculty advisor

$29,108 06/01/14 – 05/31/15

The primary objective of this project is to develop an instrumentation system to allow simultaneous estimation of metrics of occupational physical activity (for health promotion purposes) and exposure to non-neutral working postures associated with adverse musculoskeletal health outcomes (for health protection purposes).

Characterizing operable conditions for inertial measurement units CDC/NIOSH, via Heartland Center Pilot Program PI: Chen Role: Faculty advisor

$15,000 07/01/15 – 06/30/16

The purpose of this project is to estimate the effects of movement speed and the presence magnetic disturbance (and their interaction) on the difference between IMU-based and motion capture-based estimates of wrist posture.

Identifying job demands and health outcomes among Iowa beginning farmers CDC/NIOSH, via Great Plains Center Pilot Program PI: Ramaswamy Role: Faculty advisor

The purpose of this project is to estimate associations between occupational physical and psychosocial job demands and measures of general health status, musculoskeletal health status, and acute injury occurrence among a sample of beginning farmers.
