Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. William Stacey. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
William Stacey is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan, as well as a prominent clinical epilepsy specialist. His work focuses on developing engineering tools aimed at controlling epilepsy and participating in the Translational Neural Engineering Group. Stacey's lab employs a combination of electrophysiology, machine learning, signal processing, and computational modeling. His research includes analyzing large databases of human patients and ongoing studies with frequent epilepsy patients and rodent models. Specifically, his lab investigates the relationship between high-frequency oscillations and seizure mechanisms, developing methods to target and stimulate the brain to halt seizures. Additionally, the lab collaborates internationally to create biophysical dynamical models of epileptic activity, seeking to understand the mechanisms that underlie seizures and epileptic oscillations. Stacey is currently accepting new PhD students for 2024, indicating a dynamic research environment.
