Supervise CRM leads Research Group. Responsible for Long Range Planning, recruitment, budgets and supervising four scientists and technical staff. Responsible for the initiation, design, development, execution, and implementation of scientific research projects.
Responsible for the initiation, design, development, execution, and implementation of scientific research projects. This work involves designing and building new electrodes and leads, developing surgical techniques and protocols for implantation, and conducting tests in in-vitro and in-vivo models.
Responsible for research and development of implantable hardware for use in functional electrical stimulation research. This work involved designing new electrodes, leads and connectors, developing surgical techniques for implantation, and collecting and analyzing data on their performance in human subjects. Other activities included developing mathematical models based on the principles of rigid body dynamics to simulate human gait. Used these models through computer simulation to design and test controllers for electrical stimulation systems.
Applied Neural Control Laboratory, Case Western Reserve University. Investigated safe stimulation limits to be used with intramuscular electrodes. Work included mechanical design of stimulating electrodes, conducting a fatigue study, conducting a corrosion study, implantation of electrodes in test animals and analysis of the resulting histological specimens.
