Research

My interests are in the development of statistical signal processing techniques and their application to neural systems. This includes point process theory, state space modeling and time series analysis, among others, for brain-machine interfacing and brain imaging.

My current research involves

• the development of novel filter designs for optimal processing of multimodal neuronal population activity from the motor cortex of a tetraplegic human for improved neural prosthetics (as part of the BrainGate2 project at the Donoghue Lab at Brown University)
  

• new analytical approaches with improved signal extraction and image quality for in vivo two-photon calcium fluorescence imaging of the ferret visual cortex at subcellular resolution (in collaboration with the Sur Lab at MIT)
  

Previously, I have been interested in the signal processing and information theoretic aspects of ultrawideband and multiple-input multiple-output systems, with applications in very high data-rate wireless communications and microwave tomographic medical imaging.
