Lecture Title: "Neurotechnology to promote long-term recovery after brain and spinal cord injury”

Chet Moritz received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, studying the neuromechanics of human movement. A post-doc at the University of Colorado introduced him to the neural control of dexterous hand movements, while a second post-doc at the University of Washington began his interest in brain computer interfaces and neural devices to treat paralysis. He is now the CJ and Elizabeth Hwang endowed professor in the departments Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rehabilitation Medicine and Neurobiology & Biophysics at the University of Washington in Seattle. He also serves as the Co-director for the Center for Neurotechnology. His research team focus on developing and testing novel neurotechnologies to restore movement and other functions after spinal cord injury, stroke, and for children with cerebral palsy.
