Project: Assessing Haptic Sensory Impairment and its Impact on Motor Control Post-Stroke

Dr. Brown is the John C. Malone assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where he directs the Haptics and Medical Robotics (HAMR) Laboratory. He is also a member of the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) and the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare. Prior to joining Hopkins, Dr. Brown was a Postdoctoral 嫩B研究院 Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in the Haptics 嫩B研究院 Group, which is part of Penn’s General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory. Dr. Brown earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Brown’s research focuses on using methods of human perception, motor control, neurophysiology, and biomechanics to study the perception of touch as it relates to applications of human-robot interaction and collaboration. His lab also has a keen interest in understanding the utility of haptic perception in dexterous manipulation, and consequently, in understanding sensory impairment and recovery following neurological injury or disease. With the support of the C-STAR Pilot award, Brown’s team will investigate the extent to which sensory impairment at the wrist affects sensorimotor function in activities of daily living for individuals who have experienced stroke.
