At the Neuro-Interfaced Robotics (NIRO) Laboratory, our mission is to advance the scientific and translational frontiers of neurointerfaced systems for functional restoration, augmentation, and therapeutic modulation. We pursue mechanistic understanding, device innovation, and clinical relevance of next-generation neuroprosthetic and neuromodulation technologies.

 

​To achieve this, the laboratory conducts integrated research in:

​

• High-fidelity muscle and peripheral neural interfaces for bidirectional communication with the nervous system, emphasizing signal stability, selectivity, and chronic use viability.

​​​​

• Biocompatible and multifunctional interface materials that optimize mechanical compliance, electrochemical performance, and long-term stability in biological environments.

​

• ​Precision neurostimulation and miniaturized bioelectronic platforms that integrate low-noise electronics, real-time control, and adaptive algorithms for closed-loop modulation.

​

• ​Peripheral nerve modulation strategies and multi-modal biosignal acquisition for robust decoding of motor/sensory intent and targeted therapeutic intervention.

​​

Our research framework is inherently multidisciplinary, combining expertise in mechanical and electronic engineering, materials science, neuroscience, neural engineering, and computational modeling. This approach enables both fundamental insights and the translation of technology toward clinical and real-world impact, aligning with global standards for neurotechnology research and innovation.

​

We actively seek collaboration with motivated students, postdoctoral researchers, and international partners to advance neurointerfaced robotics and bioelectronic medicine.
