Dr. Md. Omar Faruk Emon become an tenure-track assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering at University of New Haven. He started the job from the fall semester 2021. He graduated in 2020 and worked as a staff at Cornell University before he joined U of New Haven.

SBIR Phase II: SmartRun Monitor for Gait and Form Analytics, Mar 1 2021 – Feb 28 2023, NSF through eSens, $169,079, PI-subaward (100% credit).

eSens received ~$1M, where Choi is a co-founder and CTO.

This grant is for developing a low-cost, conformable and robust shoe insert to provide real-time pace and gait data to runners and coaches.
