Senior Research Scientist Consultant

Perform and provide consultation on • The processing and analysis of electrophysiological and neuroimaging data EEG, EMG, TMS, MRI, fMRI, DTI) • Scientific publication and grant writing on rehabilitation research projects

Kessler Foundation | Jan 2021 - Jan 2022

Senior Research Scientist

• Lead several federally and state funded research projects and clinical trials in rehabilitation engineering looking at the neurophysiological mechanisms of motor impairment and effectiveness of novel therapies (robot-assisted rehabilitation, brain stimulation, biofeedback, etc) in stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer-related fatigue • Develop and implement the experimental design and perform or supervise the collection, processing and analysis of electrophysiological and neuroimaging data (EEG, EMG, TMS, MRI, fMRI, DTI) • Lead a team of research scientists, post-doctoral fellows, engineers and research assistants Projects: • EEG biomarker of hand impairment in stroke for Brain Computer Interface rehabilitation using EEG brain source analysis and ICA • Functional and structural brain mechanisms of balance deficit in traumatic brain injury (TBI) using wearable EEG and EMG during a balance perturbation task to identify neural markers of balance deficit that correlates with brain damage (DTI/MRI) using graph-theory and machine learning (PLS) • EEG biomarker of cancer-related fatigue assessing the brain vs. muscle mechanisms of increased fatigue in breast cancer survivors • PROLIFIC - A robust automated algorithm for muscle activation onsets detection in noisy EMG using a fast and robust unsupervised method using Profile-Likelihood Maximization and discrete Fibonacci search • Neurocognitive and neural effect of mindfulness for attention and emotional regulation in TBI using neuropsychological/cognitive testing and fMRI/DTI neuroimaging
