Peyton Skoglund

Peyton is a junior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.  She is interested in advancing the neural prosthesis device that we are developing to improve gait in people with muscle weakness. Specifically, she is designing a new system to capture human movement data using inertial measurement units (IMUs). These instruments are commonly used to sense the position in drones, have triaxial gyroscopes, triaxial accelerometers, and a magnetometer.  Peyton is identifying new higher performing IMUs, designing and building a circuit to collect data, and running tests to evaluate their performance.
