Bio
Amol Yadav, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine. He runs the Brain-Spine-Machine Interfaces lab located at the IU Neuroscience Center.
Dr. Yadav completed his PhD in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University under the mentorship of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis - known for his expertise in brain-machine interfaces. In graduate school, Dr. Yadav specialized in neural engineering and developed methods for chronic spinal cord stimulation in rodent models of Parkinson's disease and refractory epilpepsy. During his postdoctoral training, he conducted research in non-human primates and rodents and developed techniques such as closed-loop spinal cord stimulation, brain-spine interfaces, and sensory neuroprosthetics. Prior to joining IU, he worked with surgeons at Duke Neurosurgery to obtain training in clinical translation and developed hardware-software tools for translation of his work in patients.
