Chia-Chu Chiang

Chia-Chu Chiang is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case School of Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, with an affiliation to the School of Medicine. Their primary research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying epilepsy, particularly exploring non-synaptic seizure generation and propagation through electric field coupling. Current projects include developing novel technologies to control seizures using ephaptic coupling principles and investigating transcranial electric stimulation effects on neurological functions.

Research Interests:

• Neural modulation for seizure control
• Electric field coupling in neural networks
• Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques
• Neurological disorders modeling

Recent work emphasizes the role of ephaptic coupling in seizure propagation, with findings published in journals like Experimental Neurology and Epilepsia. Ongoing studies aim to bridge basic neuroscience discoveries with clinical applications, such as improving seizure management through targeted stimulation.
