Angel V. Peterchev directs the Brain Stimulation Engineering Lab (BSEL) at Duke University, focusing on the development, modeling, and application of devices and paradigms for transcranial brain stimulation. His research involves non-invasive techniques such as electric and magnetic fields to modulate neural activity, highly relevant in neurology and psychiatry. BSEL is dedicated to advancing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technologies by leveraging innovative design techniques in power electronics and computational electromagnetics, enabling superior stimulus control and enhanced patient outcomes. The lab's work integrates multi-scale computational models and experimental studies to extend the understanding of neural responses to brain stimulation. Peterchev’s research is supported by NIH and various prestigious foundations and industries. He has been awarded the John Rothwell Award for excellence in non-invasive brain stimulation research and has been elevated to IEEE Fellow. His educational background includes a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and a B.A. from Harvard University.
