New Tools Map Seizures, Improve Epilepsy Treatment
Two new models could solve a problem that’s long frustrated millions of people with epilepsy and the doctors who treat them: how to find precisely where seizures originate to treat exactly that part of the brain. By helping surgeons decide if and where to operate, the tools developed by Johns Hopkins University researchers and newly […]
Johns Hopkins, Howard University Partner to Develop Tech for Neuro Disorders
Johns Hopkins University and Howard University are teaming up to develop medical devices to diagnosis, treat, and manage neurological disorders. Researchers with the new NeuroTech Harbor technology accelerator, supported by the National Institutes of Health, will collaborate with diverse partners worldwide to create equitable and accessible technologies and solutions. The goal is increase participation in the neurotech […]
Workshop prepares young scientists, engineers for professional challenges
Less than 8% of engineering faculty members around the country identify as members of underrepresented groups. A workshop held last month on the Homewood campus is on a mission to change that. Co-hosted by Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Biomedical Engineering and Columbia University, the third annual Rising Stars in Engineering in Health Workshop aims […]
Engineers drive new directions in translational epilepsy research
There is a seismic shift underway in epilepsy research and patient care, and it’s coming from engineering. Two studies published by researchers in Sri Sarma’s Neuromedical Control Systems Lab were mentioned in a recent editorial on engineers in epilepsy in the journal Brain. Read the full commentary in the link below: Engineers drive new directions […]
Seizure mapping tools developed by NCSL researchers featured in JHU Hub
Two new models could solve a problem that’s long frustrated millions of people with epilepsy and the doctors who treat them: how to find precisely where seizures originate in the brain. By helping surgeons decide if and where to operate, the tools developed by researchers in Sri Sarma’s Neuromedical Control Systems Lab could help patients […]
Continuing to change the face of STEM: Sridevi Sarma receives second consecutive mentoring grant from L’Oreal

Sridevi Sarma featured on IEEE Brain podcast
Sridevi Sarma, ICM core faculty member and associate professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, was recently a guest on the IEEE Brain Initiative podcast series, where she discussed her background in electrical engineering and control theory, her current research on mathematical models of neurological diseases, and the importance of encouraging young women to […]
Clinical Neurophysiology features Sarma lab research on cover
Research from the lab of Dr. Sridevi Sarma, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and ICM core faculty member, was featured in the February 2015 issue of Clinical Neurophysiology. The paper, entitled “Physiology of functional and effective networks in epilepsy” reviews notions of functional and effective connectivity as applied to the study of seizures in epilepsy. […]
Sri Sarma featured in JHU Gazette story: New early warning system for seizures
Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma of the Institute for Computational Medicine has been featured in the JHU Gazette for work recently published in Epilepsy & Behavior. The research centers on the creation of a novel framework for seizure onset detection which could be used in the future with brain implants that send electrical impulses to stop […]
Sri Sarma featured in MIT Magazine
Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma was recently highlighted in MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems News Magazine. The story by Katharine Stoel Gammon talks about Dr. Sarma’s work from the time she was a post-doc in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences department at MIT and how research in the framework of control systems combined with […]
