Research Summary
The main focus of my research involves using implanted and non-invasive neural interfaces to restore function, particularly the rehabilitation of walking. My work spans basic science, proof-of-concept, pre-clinical, and clinical studies. Some projects in my lab include characterizing materials for implants, invasive and non-invasive spinal root stimulation to restore sensation and reduce phantom limb pain, and machine learning prediction of gait types and transitions.
Biography
Dr. Dalrymple completed her BSc in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering and her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, AB, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Vivian Mushahwar. She completed her first postdoc at the Bionics Institute in Melbourne, Australia under the mentorship of Drs. Rob Shepherd and James Fallon. She then moved to Pittsburgh, PA, first at the University of Pittsburgh and then at Carnegie Mellon University, under the mentorship of Drs. Doug Weber and Lee Fisher. She held pilot funding from the National Center of Neuromodulation for Rehabilitation (NM4R) and was awarded a prestigious fellowship from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
