Tenured professor of bioengineering with over 15+ years university-based neuroprosthetics/neuromodulation research and teaching experience. Managed a dynamic neural engineering laboratory, overseeing clinical and experimental studies performed by undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral fellows. Responsible for proposal preparation and submission in the field that resulted in more than $1M in academic research funding. Responsible for IRB (human) and IACUC (animal) protocol preparation and submission. Specialize in novel electrode design using silicon and polymer microfabrication techniques, with an emphasis on in vivo evaluation. Experience with human fMRI, rats, and non-human primates, micro-neurosurgery, impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, multichannel neural recording, constant current and constant voltage neural stimulation. Research topics include electrode design for cortical neural prosthesis, long-term cortical microstimulation in behaving animals for restoration of both sound and vision and tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) for improved rehabilitation after stroke. Award-winning professor, specialize in reduction of complex engineering and biological/physiological principles into easily digestible units for diverse learners. Excellent communicator (nearly 100 paper and conference publications), at ease in interactions across engineering colleagues, medical personnel and laypersons, in small group settings or large lecture halls.

Research I university professor. Research in neural engineering/neuromodulation. Focused on electrode design and in vivo testing. Received numerous awards for teaching - undergraduate and graduate bioengineering courses. Specialized in the reduction of complex engineering/biological/physiological principles into digestible units for a diverse range of learners.

Responsible for the development of an animal model to study the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for neuroprotection following stroke.
