My main interest is in neurophysics and computational neurology. I have a background (PhD) in particle physics, but am looking to pivot to neuroscience. I have used computational neurology tools such as BRIAN (used to simulate spiking neural networks), and have used Python and Tensorflow as part of my machine learning projects and PhD research. I would love to contribute in any way to chronic pain research, and it is a topic close to my heart as I suffered from chronic pain throughout my PhD and continue to do so.

I work in neurostimulation device development. Disease modalities I’ve worked with include epilepsy, chronic pain, MSA, and TBI. Current work is looking for a biomarker of pain.
Ioana Susnoschi Susnoschi-Luca
Working in:
- Non-invasive brain stimulation
- Neurofeedback
My main research interests span the use of non-invasive methods to restore motor function and their impact on brain function. Current research fields include EEG-based neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation and biosignal processing (EEG, EMG).
I am currently completing a PhD investigating the effect of voluntary brain wave modulation on the brain-spinal cord communication pathway in healthy people and in spinal cord injury patients.
