Education
• BS, Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2000.
• MS, Bioengineering, Arizona State University, 2001.
• Pursuing PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
Research Interests
I am interested in functional electrical stimulation and neuroprostheses. My primary interests are focused on using afferent mediated stimulation to elicit spinal cord reflexes for restoration of function (currently: bladder excitation).
