Ravi L. Hadimani博士学术报告

报告人：美国Iowa State University ,Department Electrical and Computer Engineering Ravi L. Hadimani 博士

报告题目：Deep Brain Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Therapeutic Applications

时间：5月16日（周4）下午3点

地点： 主楼西304

报告内容：介绍他利用Deep Brain Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation（经颅磁刺激，TMS）干预特定的培养神经细胞以及在在体动物上的应用。TMS具有无痛、无创的优势，在大脑功能、高级认知、以及精神神经疾病的干预治疗中获得越来越多的认可，与PET、fMRI、MEG 并称为21世纪的四大重要的脑研究技术。相信Ravi 博士的工作 对我们的研究会有很好的启示。

报告人简介：He has first class honors degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kuvempu University, India (2001), MS in Mechatronics from the University of Newcastle (2003) and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cardiff University (2009). His PhD thesis was based on Advanced Magnetoelastic and Magnetocaloric Materials for Device Applications. He has served as the KCMC Project Scientist from 2010 to 2011 at the Institute of materials research and Innovation of the University of Bolton, UK.

    His work on hybrid piezoelectric and photovoltaic energy harvester which is capable of harvesting electrical energy from solar, wind and rain energy was awarded the UK Energy Innovation Award in 2011 which was published in various news articles by BBC, New Scientist and Scientific America. He has also developed and patented piezoelectric polymer fiber that can be woven or knitted into energy harvesting fabric. He is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at Department Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University where his work is focused on Biomagnetics. He is in charge of the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Laboratory and he works for Dr. David Jiles, Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is actively involved with the IEEE Magnetic Society. He has founded the IEEE Magnetic Society, Central Iowa Chapter and he is the current chair of the chapter.
