José Zariffa, PhD, PEng

Primary Affiliations:

• Scientist, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, University Health Network
• Assistant Professor, Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto

Interests:

Dr. Zariffa's research focuses on developing technology for upper limb neurorehabilitation. For example, to evaluate the true impact of rehabilitation strategies on daily life, his team is developing a system to measure hand function at home using wearable cameras. Looking to the next generation of assistive technologies, he is learning how to intercept and interpret neural signals to create direct interfaces with the nervous system. Dr. Zariffa's laboratory has expertise in signal processing, electrophysiology, computer vision, data analysis and outcome measure development.
