Omid Yaghmazadeh
Principal Investigator
I am a neuro- scientist/engineer interested in the interactions of electromagnetic energy with the nervous system, the effects of such interaction on neural activity, and how such effects can be employed in the development of novel or optimization of existing non-invasive brain stimulation techniques.

Runjie (Tom) Yi
Master's student
I am completing my MS in Physics/Biology at NYU, co-supervised by Omid. The factors that affect animal behavior via changes in neural activity is a fascinating topic. I’m currently using electrophysiological analysis to investigate the effect of Physical movement on neural activity.
Hope Henderson
Visiting master's student
I am a master of neuroscience student at Aix Marseille University, interested in ageing-related changes to the nervous system and especially to the sensorimotor system. Disturbances to the neural activity of its related networks due to pathologies such as stroke, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's, create potential targets for neuromodulatory therapies like Omid is developing in the lab. As a summer intern, I am excited to contribute my time to this research and deepen my understanding of neural mechanisms.
Ashleigh Berg
Visiting medical student
Hi! I’m Ashleigh Berg, a second-year medical student (OMS-II) at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. I joined the Translational Neurotech Lab to expand my understanding of neural modulation and its therapeutic potential. I’m particularly interested in inpatient neurology and excited to be part of research that could contribute to meaningful advancements in patient care. This summer, I’m looking forward to learning more about the translational applications of neurotechnology and gaining hands-on research experience under Omid’s mentorship.
Vincent Vargas
Visiting medical student
I am a medical student at Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, with a focused interest in the exploration and development of non-invasive methodologies that can be translated into clinical practice, particularly within the domain of the central nervous system. I am excited to contribute to research efforts aimed at advancing novel strategies for the therapeutic management of brain disorders.
