Past Members
Alireza Rouzitalab, M.Sc.
Alireza joined the lab in November 2017. He earned a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Ottawa under the supervision of Dr. Adam Sachs and Dr. Jeongwon Park. His research focused on developing signal processing and machine-learning methods to estimate the desired outcome of users (Non-Human Primates and Human subjects) controlling assistive communication devices using their online recording of brain signals.
Elizabeth Hassan, PhD, PEng
As part of the Sachs Lab, Liz was developing a new protocol for motion capture in clinical settings and bench testing new electrode coatings. She is now an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McMaster University.
Guillaume Doucet, Ph.D.
Guillaume joined the lab in July 2018 as a Postdoctoral Fellow. He completed his PhD in the Cognitive Neurophysiology laboratory of Dr. Julio Martinez-Trujillo, formerly at McGill University in Montreal, now at the University of Western Ontario in London. His research focused on the interplay between eye movements, sensory processing and memory formation and their influence on primate hippocampal local field potentials.
David (Chao-Chia) Lu, M.A.Sc.
David joined the lab in January 2015 and was pursuing a PhD in Engineering under the supervision of Adam Sachs and Adrian Chan at Carleton University. David was working on developing different signal processing and machine-learning methods to process the neurophysiological activity recorded during brain surgery.
Michael Min Wah Leung, M.Sc.
Michael completed his B.Sc in Biochemistry with Option in Microbiology and Immunology in Winter 2017 from the University of Ottawa. He joined the lab in Summer 2017 and earned a M.Sc in Neuroscience under the supervision of Dr. Adam Sachs and Dr. Leonard Maler. Michael investigated neurophysiological correlates by recording saccadic eye deficits and how pathological brain signals affect countermanding task performance in Parkinson's Disease patients. Michael developed experimental platforms for performing Brain Computer Interface experiments intraoperatively and pipelines for processing large unstructured datasets.
