معرفی
Octavio Marin-Pardo is a Research Fellow at the University of Southern California (USC) Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, affiliated with the Neural Plasticity and Neurorehabilitation (NPNL) Lab. His primary mentor is Dr. Sook-Lei Liew. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from USC (2023), an MS in Biomedical Engineering from USC (2019), and a BS in Mechatronics Engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (2017).
Marin-Pardo’s research focuses on non-invasive neuroimaging (e.g., MRI, EEG) and rehabilitation technologies (e.g., biofeedback, VR) to improve motor recovery after stroke. His work emphasizes telehealth systems, low-cost medical devices, and personalized neurorehabilitation. Key projects include the Tele-REINVENT system for at-home stroke rehabilitation, which integrates EMG biofeedback and VR.
His recent publications highlight advancements in telerehabilitation usability, stroke neuroimaging biomarkers, and neurofeedback efficacy. Marin-Pardo’s studies often bridge clinical needs with engineering innovation, aiming to enhance accessibility to occupational therapy for neurologically impaired populations.
