Adam Li, a doctoral student in the ICM lab of Sridevi Sarma, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, has been selected as a recipient of a 2017-2018 STEM Chateaubriand Fellowship. Offered by the Embassy of France in the United States to outstanding PhD students from American universities, the fellowship would provide Li with the opportunity to conduct research in France for 4 to 9 months.

Li a second year PhD student in biomedical engineering, aims to create advanced data analytics for neurosurgeons that are treating epilepsy patients. Current state of the art surgical resection of epileptic regions in the brain require precise and reliable localisations of problematic regions in the brain. Adam’s research involves analyzing brain recordings as a networked system and characterizing network system characteristics to make predictions of the onset region in epilepsy.

Congratulation, Adam!
