Bibliography of the Presenter
Dr. Bai obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, China, and Ph.D. in Biomedical Systems Control and Engineering from Saga University, Japan. His Ph.D. research has been focused on Biomedical Signal Processing with applications to EEG and evoked potentials, where he was co-mentored by Dr. Nakamura from Saga University and Dr. Shibasaki from Kyoto University, who has been served as the President of International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology. After his short career as a lecturer in Saga University, he came to the United State to pursue research training in human motor control neurophysiology and pathophysiology in National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he was mentored by Dr. Hallett, who has been served as the Vice President of American Society of Neurology. Dr. Bai developed his interest in the prediction of human voluntary control and brain-computer interface for motor rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological disorders, during his fellowship training, and thereafter, his proposal of the detection of human voluntary movement intention for a natural brain-computer interface was successfully supported by NIH grants.
Dr. Bai currently serves as a tenure-track professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Virginia Commonwealth University, where he teaches biomedical engineering undergraduate and graduate students in signal and system, digital signal processing, and statistical signal processing with applications to Biomedical and physiological signals. He is the Director of EEG and BCI Laboratory, where he mentors both master and Ph.D. students major in biomedical engineering. His Lab has been actively involved in the science and engineering development in the emerging area of neural engineering with focus on developing novel signal processing methods for understanding human motor control, and exploring efficient neural interface technology for motor rehabilitation.
Dr. Bai is the member of many professional societies including IEEE. He also serves as the ad-hoc reviewer for top journals in neural engineering, clinical neurophysiology and clinical neuroscience.
