RA Opportunities in SUBLIME Lab with Professor Gomez

Position Type: Graduate Student
Priority: No
RA Opportunities in SUBLIME Lab
 
Professor Luis Gomez is looking for graduate students to join his group.  
 
We seek highly motivated graduate students who are interested in improving brain stimulation technologies (e.g. tDCS, tACS, and TMS). Ongoing projects involve transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive form of brain stimulation used widely as a neuroscience research tool as well as a treatment for psychiatric and neurological disorders. Specifically, we are working towards: 
  1. Developing novel fast methods for computational E-field dosimetry of TMS that can be practically applied to predict E-field uncertainty resulting from uncertainty in the TMS setup and to optimize coil placement.  
  2. Generating computational models of the inherent uncertainty in the TMS setups (e.g. patient to patient variability, patient conductivity uncertainty, and coil placement uncertainty).  
  3. Developing computational tools for individualized MRI/fMRI-based targeting of TMS for modulating brain circuits related to cognitive performance in humans.  
  4. Designing and implementing novel TMS devices that improve the targeting relative to existing ones.  
More details available at the Lab Webpage.
 
Prospective team members please E-mail a brief description of why you are interested in joining our team and CV/resume to Professor Gomez.
