Shani Ross

Shani Ross is an Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs in the Department of Bioengineering at George Mason University. She focuses on bladder neurophysiology and closed-loop neuroprosthetics.

• BSc Electrical Engineering, Howard University (2004)
• MS & PhD in Biomedical Engineering with bioelectrical concentration, University of Michigan (2006, 2013)

Her research spans neural engineering, neuromodulation, and biomedical device development. Key areas include peripheral nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and neuroprosthetics for restoring physiological function.

Recent publications highlight work on graphene-based neural electrodes, decoding algorithms for bladder pressure estimation, pudendal neuromodulation effects on blood flow, and trigeminal nerve stimulation in equine models. Her work integrates computational methods with biomedical applications.
