He received his bachelor’s degree in engineering sciences from Harvard University in 2002, and master’s and doctorate degrees in biomedical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2003 and 2007, respectively. He then completed an NIH-NRSA post-doctoral fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. His expertise is in the area of neural engineering with specific research interests in the area of deep brain stimulation (DBS). His research program studies how the brain responds and adapts to DBS therapies from a combination of computational and experimental perspectives. These studies in turn provide a rationale his group to develop and translate new neuromodulation-based approaches for treating for a range of brain disorders. He teaches courses in the areas of signal processing, physiological control systems, system identification with biological applications, and neuroengineering.
