Rehabilitation and Neural Engineering Laboratory

Marc Powell, PhD

I received my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Brown University in 2021. My doctoral work focused on applying techniques in wireless power transfer, radiofrequency electronics, and low power embedded systems towards the development of wireless, implantable neural interfaces designed to enable synchronous multi-area access to the nervous system. I also studied the sensorimotor dynamics involved in the sensation of slip during object manipulation.

Research Interest Summary

Neuroprosthetics, Spinal Cord Injury, Brain Computer Interfaces, Stroke, Neurorehabilitation, Motor Control, Sensorimotor Dynamics

Research Interests

My research interests involve the development of advanced neural technologies to help restore lost motor function due to injury and other neurological disorders. I am particularly interested in the clinical translation of these technologies and how they can be implemented safely and robustly in order to help people in their everyday lives.
