CV
Divya Rai
Research Professional
I’m a research professional in the CoDex lab. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor's in Biological Engineering emphasis on biomedical engineering. I am interested in improving my skills in innovating medical devices used in rehabilitation research. In my free time, I enjoy volunteering in the communities, crocheting, knitting, hiking, and spending time with my family.
Aisha Bushra
Clinical Professional
I am a physician and a student of neuroscience. My interest is in the clinical aspects of the human study. Over time, I developed a keen interest in innovative neuroscience research as a tool to help humanity affected by neurological disorders. My past experiences are mostly related to multiple sclerosis in the aging population and demyelinating disease in childhood. Currently, I am interested in stroke studies with recovery and rehabilitation ways to help stroke population. I am a happy-to-go, nature-loving person who loves to cook cross-cultural foods, listen to music, and read motivational books.
Graduate Students
Patrick Ihejirika
I am a PhD student in the Codex Lab with an interest in cognitive and computational neuroscience and psychology. I am specifically interested in exploring mechanisms of motor function deterioration using computational neuroscience techniques. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing chess, exercising and hanging out with my close family and friends.
Undergraduate Students
Jason Zheng
I am a third-year Biology student on the pre-medical track. Currently, I am analyzing and comparing hand behavior between healthy and stroke patients using a markerless tracking software. I hope to use the experiences I gain from this lab in my future endeavors as a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon.
Kinya Williams
I am a 3rd year majoring in biology on the pre-med track. I am interested in the fields of radiology and neurology for my future career. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music (preferably R&B and hip hop), roller skating, working out, having fun, watching movies, and spending time with my favorite people.
Neda Amini
I am a second year Mechanical Engineering major, and I’m working on developing and maintaining hardware devices for studying hand control. I’m interested in seeing how the mechanical side of engineering is used to advance research in neuroscience and biomedical engineering.
Evan Catellano
I am a third-year undergraduate student who is majoring in Exercise and Sports Science. Currently, I am working in the Cognition and Dexterity lab to analyze hand behavior in healthy cerebral palsy patients, while also assisting in the strop motor task. I hope to utilize the knowledge and experience I gain in this lab to aid my future pursuit in the medical field.
Arshi Noorani
I am a freshman majoring in Biology w/ a Neuroscience concentration, on the pre-med track. I am currently working in the CoDex lab assisting with CP (Cerebral Palsy) patients. In the near future, I aspire to become a Neurosurgeon.
