Ria Ghosh
PhD expected Fall 2021
Computer Engineering
University of Texas at Dallas
We are excited to introduce the 2nd position in the Collegiate Poster Competition in WE Local San Diego 2020, Ria Ghosh! Ria is pursuing a PhD in Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. She is an active member of SWE at UTD, where she helped organize the Design Your World Workshops and participated as a mentor in the SWE Next program.
Ria’s research topic is a Custom-made Real-time Field Testing Interface board for accelerated advancements in Cochlear implant and Hearing aid algorithms. She designed the Costakis Cochlear implant-MOBILE (CCi-MOBILE), which provides researchers the flexibility and ease to program cochlear implant (CI) algorithms in high level languages. CCi-MOBILE is a highly adaptive, portable computing platform, developed to test complex CI algorithms and change sound processing parameters in real-time for bench-top or take-home field trails in naturalistic environments. This research platform works in collaboration with a smartphone or personal computer and is currently compatible with devices from Cochlear Ltd for bilateral, bi-modal and variable rate stimulation. Her platform is intended as an open-source contribution to the cochlear-implant community for accelerated advancements in the field. Her work is supported by the grant R01 DC016839-02 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health.
Ria’s goal is to contribute to the research and development of the medical device Industry from the Electrical Engineering perspective, by making the vision of Tele-medicine more easily accessible.
Ria’s hobbies include volunteering for fund-raisers, going on road trips, writing poetry and trying to be a jack of all things.
Fun fact: She wanted to become a surgeon, but realized in high school that she is capable of fainting at the sight of the slightest blood. Hence, she finally chose to contribute to the medical field by ensuring there's no blood involved no matter what, and hardware development for medical devices is what came her way!
