He completed his Ph.D. at ETH Zurich and EPF Lausanne.

Khoa's primary research interests lies in the area of mapping brain stimulation to facilitate DBS programming with segmented leads and improve patient outcome.

Alba is a PhD student interested in brain connectivity and how brain pathways are affected during clinical DBS treatments.

With a biomedical engineering background, she is focused on the application of fiber tractography to study and optimize DBS treatments of patients with neurological disorders.

Adriana is a biomedical engineer with a particular interest in studying the brain and its disorders.

The goal of her project is to reduce DBS-induced side effects in Parkinson's disease patients, in particular, speech impairments. She uses Freesurfer, MRtrix, and Lead-DBS to relate stimulation parameters with speech side effects.
