Shane Lee, Wael Asaad, Farah Laiwalla win Zimmerman Innovation Awards in Brain Science

By adding artificial intelligence models to the existing closed-loop technology, Lee and Asaad seek to first predict and then address multiple symptoms of Parkinson’s all at once and on a rapid timescale. Laiwalla's novel technology has the potential to enable access to visual processing in an unprecedented way and is anticipated to transform how we address profound visual impairment.

Reisman ’76, P’09 Assistant Professor of Engineering, teaches Analytical Modeling for Biomechanical and Biomedical Systems (ENGN 2911R) in the fall and Biomechanics (ENGN 1210) in the spring. 

Ahmed Abdelfattah wins a 2023 dynamic imaging grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) was founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our local communities. CZI's imaging program aims to "support the development of new tools or significant enhancements of existing tools to monitor biological processes in motion, across time, and across spatial scales.”  One of this year’s grantees is Ahmed Abdelfattah, assistant professor of Brain Science and assistant professor in the Department of Neuroscience for his project “High-speed Volumetric Voltage Imaging.”
