معرفی
Shaun Cloherty is a Lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at RMIT University's School of Engineering. He holds a BE (Hons) in Aerospace Avionics from Queensland University of Technology and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on systems neuroscience, integrating experimental and computational methods to understand neural coding, information processing in the brain, and the neural basis of perception and behavior. Cloherty has held research positions at UNSW, Australian National University, National Vision Research Institute, and Monash University.
His teaching interests include undergraduate courses such as Image Processing, Computer Architecture, and Biomedical Signal Analysis, alongside postgraduate courses in Image Systems Engineering. He is open to supervising Masters and PhD students in areas like neural prosthetics, retinal implantation safety, and motor imagery recovery.
Cloherty's research spans topics including retinal prosthesis safety, visual processing in primates, and the application of virtual reality in post-stroke rehabilitation. His work has been published in journals like *Progress in Biomedical Engineering* and *Journal of Neuroscience*. He actively contributes to collaborative projects and maintains a GitHub profile for software development related to mission control training and biomedical systems.
His research projects include investigating motor imagery and VR for stroke recovery, developing chronic neural electrode arrays, and optimizing solar cell light-trapping designs. Cloherty's interdisciplinary approach bridges engineering and neuroscience, with a focus on translational applications in health technology.
