He presented his research titled "Improving the Stability of Referred Sensations Evoked by Transcutaneous Electrical Neuro-stimulation". </span>

<span class="s1">His research is about l</span><span class="s1">oss of sensory function due to disease or limb amputation can be a devastating, life-changing event. Implantable neural stimulators have shown potential for providing naturalistic referred sensations, however, they require invasive surgical procedures. This study investigates the potential benefits of using interfering multichannel transcutaneous electrical stimulation through surface electrodes to evoke more stable and consistent distally referred sensations than traditional single-channel stimulation. </span>
