Omid Yaghmazadeh
Postdoctoral Fellow at NYU Neuroscience Institute
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.
I have an educational background in Electrical Engineering. However, I grew a huge interest in Neuroscience as I evolved through my career. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the laboratory of György Buzsáki at the Neuroscience Institute at New York University School of Medicine.
During my postdoctoral fellowship, I have been studying the effects of radio-frequency (RF) energy exposure on brain activity and the development of a novel non-invasive neuromodulation technique: Transcranial Radio Frequency Stimulation (TRFS).
I am interested in pursuing my research at the interface of Neuroscience and Biomedical/Bioelectrical Engineering, working on the effects of electromagnetic stimulation (in different forms and across various frequencies) on the brain and its potential applications in treating brain disorders. I plan to start my independent research by translational development of TRFS for treatment of brain disorders.
I am currently applying for tenure-track faculty or investigator positions. If your department has openings, please do not hesitate to contact me.
