Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeha Thomas is an interdisciplinary researcher with 11 years of experience designing and evaluating haptic feedback systems, currently advancing tactile and kinesthetic interfaces for upper-limb myoelectric prostheses at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. Her PhD-level work blends bioengineering, electrical engineering, and human-centered experimentation, with notable stints as a Fulbright Visiting PhD at the Max Planck Institute and NSF-funded research at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She has prototyped hardware and custom software across domains—from C++ time-synchronization for neuroimaging to MATLAB and LabVIEW tools for sensor analysis—bringing a rare combination of hands-on electronics, clinical insight, and rigorous experimental design. Driven by improving amputee quality of life, she couples quantitative sensor work and control algorithms with tactile-sensing innovations that translate directly to wearable prosthetic systems.
