Investigator, Cleveland FES Center
Elmer Lincoln Lindseth Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Laboratory for Intelligent Machine-Brain Systems (LIMBS), Case Western Reserve University
Research Associate, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Dr. Ajiboye’s main research interest is in the development and control of brain-computer-interface (BCI) technologies for restoring function to individuals who have experienced severely debilitating injuries to the nervous system, such as spinal cord injury and stroke.
Director of Strategic and Industrial Collaborations, Cleveland FES Center
Biomedical Engineer, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University
As the FES Center’s primary contact for external collaborations, Dr. Cornwell’s objective is to strengthen existing and forge new relationships with groups outside the FES center to build visibility and impact.
Investigator, Cleveland FES Center
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine
Staff, Cleveland Clinic, Pediatric Ophthalmology and Adult Strabismus
Director, Ocular Motility Laboratory, Cole Eye Institute
Research Appointment, Daroff and Dell’Osso Ocular Motility Laboratory, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Dr. Ghasia’s laboratory’s work is broadly focused on understanding the role of abnormal neural circuits in strabismus and amblyopia and apply novel strategies for their treatment. The laboratory based at the Cleveland Clinic focuses on research techniques involving visual psychophysics and eye movement data acquisition and analysis using portable as well as a laboratory-based video-oculography system in children.
Investigator, Cleveland FES Center
Biomedical Engineer, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Staff Scientist, MetroHealth Medical Center Assistant
Professor, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Case Western Reserve University
Dr. Bourbeau’s research focuses on developing devices that use electrical stimulation to restore pelvic autonomic function lost to SCI or other neurological disorders. Such devices would provide alternatives to surgeries or drugs.
Investigator, Cleveland FES Center
Biomedical Engineer, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Dr. Hardin’s research interests lie in studying human walking performance and stability, and in the intrinsic and extrinsic criteria that influence them. These criteria include muscle strength and endurance, joint stiffness, proprioception, and anthropometry as well as neural and conventional prostheses, bracing and footwear properties.
Investigator, Cleveland FES Center
Stroke Neurologist and Medical Director of the Stroke Program, Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Assistant Professor, Department of Neurology, Case Western Reserve University
School of Medicine
Dr. Pundik’s lab focuses on utilizing functional neuroimaging to discern substrates of movement control and movement relearning-related plasticity in the healthy vs. post-stroke brain to draw upon their significance for rehabilitation.
