Professional Statement

Gozde is a postdoctoral research associate at the Interdisciplinary Consortium on Advanced Motion Performance (iCAMP), which is part of the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. She completed her PhD degree at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, where she worked as a research scholar in the Wearable Biosensing Lab. Her research during her PhD focused on embedded systems, wearable technology, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Currently, Gozde is involved in various digital health projects that use wearable sensors to assess movement quality, provide telecare monitoring for elderly individuals, and enable remote monitoring of cognitive frailty in the home.

Throughout her academic career, Gozde has received numerous awards, including the Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering Outstanding Researcher Award in 2022, the Master&PhD Degree Scholarship for Overseas Universities from the Turkish Ministry of National Education in 2014, the NSF Connections in Smart Health Workshop Student Travel Award in 2018 and 2019, and the CRA-W Grad Cohort for Women Student Travel Award in 2019, 2021, and 2022. She also won second place in the Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering Best Poster Award in 2018 and first place in 2019.
