Research project experience
My primary focus is on improving neural interfaces in order to better understand the brain and address neurological diseases. I aim to contribute to the development of an advanced neural interfacing system for treating neural disease, integrating various neuro-engineering approaches into a versatile application, such as electrical, chemical, optical, acoustic, and magnetic. Furthermore, I firmly believe that neural engineering will shape a new world, just as computers and the internet have. I aspire to be at the forefront, leading this future so that everyone can enjoy the new world with neurotechnology.
My past experience encompasses the entire spectrum of neural engineering and medical device development. The scope and depth of my expertise are demonstrated in the research projects detailed here [Projects].
