Current Research Projects

SmartRehab: Brain-controlled Rehabilitation System

Leading Interdisciplinary Project: Design and development of brain-controlled smart and portable electrical stimulation-based rehabilitation system for upper limb stroke recovery.

Impact-driven health-tech innovator and educator: Proven in health technology research and teaching, with track record of grant-winning ideas translated into market-ready prototypes, and entrepreneurial leadership.

SmartRehab treats the brain–muscle–device loop as an integrated biosystem, developing closed-loop control algorithms and wearable interfaces that restore motor function in stroke patients.

Stroke Communication System

Leading the development of a stroke communication system that facilitates the interaction between the patient and the caregiver team during the hospital stay and at home.

NexGenRehab: Next Generation Robotic Stroke Rehabilitation System

Awarded collaborative "Stanford HAI Hoffman-Yee Research Grant" for the project "NexGenRehab: Development of Next Generation Robotic Stroke Rehabilitation System with Virtual Reality and BCI Paradigm."
