معرفی
Dr. Mahnaz Arvaneh is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Sheffield. She holds a PhD in Advanced Brain-Computer Interface from Nanyang Technological University (2013) and has held academic roles at University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin. Her research focuses on brain-computer interfaces (BCI), neural signal processing, and their applications in healthcare, including stroke rehabilitation and neuroprosthetics. She directs the Physiological Signals and Systems Laboratory and has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in top journals/conferences.
Research interests include biomedical signal processing, machine learning, neuroprosthetics, and clinical BCI applications. Notable achievements include high-impact media coverage (BBC, Sky News), IEEE editorial roles, and co-editing the IET book Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Brain-Machine Interfaces. She has secured grants totaling over £500k, including EPSRC funding for exoskeleton robotics and neurotechnology development.
Dr. Arvaneh's work emphasizes translational research, with projects like TeleRegain (BCI-based stroke telerehabilitation) and Neurophysiological Biomarkers for Neurodegenerative Diseases. Her teaching includes modules on biomedical devices, signal processing, and rehabilitation engineering. Current grants focus on neurotechnology inclusivity, mental healthcare applications, and thermal stimulus quantification in dentistry.
