Welcome! I am Rohit Rangwani. I am postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Cecile Verbaarschot at Department of Neurological Surgery at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. I finished my Ph.D. in Neuroenigneering at the Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and worked as a visiting graduate student at Center for Neural Science and Medicine (CNSM), Cedars-Sinai during this period. My doctoral research work with Dr. Tanuj Gulati focused on cerebellar brain-machine interfaces in healthy and stroke models to better understand the underlying cortico-cerebellar motor network in healthy vs stroke-injured brains. This was supported by the American Heart Association predoctoral fellowship.

I am passionate about everything related to neuro and health tech. Over the course of my professional journey, I have gained diverse experience across academic and industry domains. I graduated with a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station and earned my bachelor of technology degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Warangal, India. During my master’s, I worked at Integrated Neuro-Prosthetics Lab(INPL) developing novel ways of modulating/augmenting sensory feedback for improving rehabilitation and human-machine interfaces. Our published work establishes transcutaneous electrical stimulation as a novel method of modulating proprioception. Overall, I am interested in understanding the sensorimotor system’s cortical and peripheral circuits to develop translational therapies for diseased neural states. To accomplish these goals, I have worked with intracortical recordings, EEG, EMG and different stimulation approaches.

In industry, I have worked in different software development roles at Qualcomm, Samsung Advanced Computing Lab, and Canon Medical Research USA(CMRU).
