Biomedical Informatics Lab

The goal of the Biomedical Informatics Lab is to understand physiological function by means of mathematical and computational modeling, and to provide engineering and informatics tools for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Entropy/Complexity

Healthy states appear to be more complex than those observed in disease. We perform complexity and entropy analyses of physiological signals to provide tools for diagnosis.

Noninvasive Electrical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord for Pain Management

Noninvasive Electrical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord for Pain Management

We are developing computational models of noninvasive electrical stimulation to design strategies that are able to reach spinal cord structures using surface electrodes. Modulating the activity of nerve fibers or neurons in the spine is being used for pain relief in people with chronic pain.

Cerebral Hemodynamics Modeling

Cerebral Hemodynamics Modeling

We use physic-based models to understand cerebrovascular function and provide tools for diagnosis of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
