Office: 109 Wickenden
Phone Number: (216) 368-6814

Education

Ph.D., Biomedical Engineering, Northwestern University, 2007
M.S., Biomedical Engineering, Northwestern University, 2003
B.S., Biomedical and Electrical Engineering, Duke University, 2000

Research Interests

- Development and control of brain-computer-interface (BCI) technologies for restoring function to individuals who have experienced severely debilitating injuries to the nervous system, such as spinal cord injury and stroke. - Understanding the neuroscience underlying how cortical and muscular circuits give rise to natural movements. - End goal is to develop BCI systems that allow for more natural interactions with one’s surrounding environment, and more natural control of neuroprostheses.

Teaching Interests

• Movement Biomechanics and Rehabilitation / Prosthetics Systems • Biomedical Signals and Systems • Modeling of Biomedical Systems
