His research interests are in applications of neural engineering techniques and technology in the area of medical rehabilitation. Current projects include the development and assessment of systems that use electrical stimulation for therapy after spinal cord injury, systems to improve neuromotor control in children with cerebral palsy, systems to restore sensory capabilities to amputees, and techniques to improve sensorimotor function in people with Parkinson’s Disease. He received his bachelor's degree in bioelectrical engineering from Brown University in Providence, RI and his master's degree and doctorate in biomedical engineering from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.
