TNSRE serves the community of biomedical engineers and clinical researchers who work at the intersection of neuroscience and physical medicine. We publish novel approaches and technologies for better understanding neural systems, human movement, and the relationships between them, with a focus on assistive devices that improve life for patients, for practicing clinicians, and for everyday use.
Arsam N. Shiraz (S'13) was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1983. He received a first-class M.Eng. degree in electronic and electrical engineering from University College London (UCL), London, U.K., in 2011. He is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree in the Analog and Biomedical Electronics Group, UCL.
His research interests are the design and development of medical devices (sensing and stimulation) and bio-modelling (FEM, neural models and bio-potential simulation).
Mr. Shiraz was on the Dean's list and was awarded the Departmental Outstanding Student Prize. He was awarded a UCL Overseas Research Scholarship and a UCL Faculty of Engineering Postgraduate Research Scholarship, in 2011.
After spinal cord injury, functions of the lower urinary tract may be disrupted. A wearable device with surface electrodes which can effectively control the bladder functions would be highly beneficial to the patients. A trans-rectal pudendal nerve stimulator may provide...
