Research Interests
The focus of my research involves the development and application of neural interfaces for therapeutic applications, including interventions to implantable microelectrode array technologies for in vivo recording and stimulation of neural function. I have developed an interdisciplinary expertise combining computational science, engineering, neurophysiology, and neurostimulation around two themes: 1) the application of therapeutic neural interfaces to improve the symptoms of urinary dysfunction, and 2) the investigation of neural engineering strategies to improve safety and reliability of neural interfaces for stimulation and recording.
