Professor Dr. Paul Nuyujukian

Biography

Paul Nuyujukian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering and a courtesy appointment in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. His research focuses on the intersection of motor systems neuroscience and neuroengineering applications, particularly aimed at understanding how the brain controls movement, especially after injuries. He is particularly interested in recording populations of neurons and exploring the potential of brain-machine interfaces as a technological platform to address a variety of brain-related medical conditions, notably stroke and epilepsy. His work spans both preclinical models and human clinical studies, emphasizing a translation of his findings to real-world applications in neurorehabilitation and brain therapy.
