Yingchun Zhang, Ph.D is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Zhejiang University, China, in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota for biomedical signal processing, computational modeling and bioelectrical activity imaging methodologies. Dr. Zhang is a recipient of a NIH Pathway to Independence (K99/R00) award and a recipient of the 12th Annual Delsys Prize for Innovation in Electromyography. He serves as an academic editor/reviewer for a number of peer-review scientific journals, and a grant reviewer for NIH, NSF, AHA and UK Cancer Research. His research focuses on multimodality imaging assessment of the dynamics of neural activities in the human body including the brain and muscles, and development of various novel functional imaging and neural engineering technologies to advance clinical diagnosis and treatment of neurological and neuromuscular diseases. He is also interested in utilizing advanced functional imaging and neural engineering technologies to enhance the performance of human-machine-interface systems including brain-computer interface systems, brain-controlled devices, and myoelectric-controlled prostheses.
