Principal Investigator
Dr. Sridevi Sarma received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca NY, in 1994; and an M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in, Cambridge MA, in 1997 and 2006, respectively. From 2000-2003 she took a leave of absence to start a data analytics company. From 2006--2009, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. She is now an associate professor in the Institute for Computational Medicine, Department of Biomedical Engineering, at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore MD. Her research interests include modeling, estimation and control of neural systems using electrical stimulation. She is a recipient of the GE faculty for the future scholarship, a National Science Foundation graduate research fellow, a L’Oréal For Women in Science fellow, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Careers at the Scientific Interface Award, the Krishna Kumar New Investigator Award from the North American Neuromodulation Society, and a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) and the Whiting School of Engineering Robert B. Pond Excellence in Teaching Award.
Research Scientists
Postdocs
Daniel Dorman received his B.S. in biomedical engineering from LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas, and his PhD in neuroscience from George Mason University. His doctoral dissertation focused on developing biophysically detailed computational models of individual neurons of the striatum to investigate mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. He joined the Neuromedical Control Systems Lab as a postdoc in 2021 as an IRACDA postdoctoral fellow in Johns Hopkins University's ASPIRE program. In the NCSL his research focuses on models of decision making and analysis of EEG data collected during decision making experiments to identify brain networks that support decision making and executive function.
Patrick Greene is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute for Computational Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He received his B.S. in Mathematics from University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from University of Arizona. His doctoral research was in neural signal processing, where he worked on incorporating biophysical properties of the brain into a Bayesian statistical framework in order to improve discriminability between signals from different neurons. He is currently working on projects involving the relationship between neuropathic pain and sleep, as well as on the neural correlates of decision making.
Graduate Students
Tony Wei received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the Johns Hopkins University. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering in Dr. Sridevi Sarma’s Neuromedical Control Systems Lab at the Johns Hopkins University. His research interests include neural signal processing, machine learning applications in neuroscience, and chronic pain. For his Ph.D., he is collaborating with Dr. Latremoliere and Dr. Alexandre from the Neurosurgery Pain Research Institute at Johns Hopkins to identify an EEG neuropathic pain biomarker from mice fronto-parietal brain activity during sleep.
Amir Hossein Daraie received his dual bachelor's degree in biomedical and electrical engineering at Tehran Polytechnic. During a research internship at Donders Institute, he developed soft- and hardware solutions for home-based sleep recordings and sleep modulation. He has several years of experience in international robotics competitions, with two world championships.
