Nitish Thakor<\/a> is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering and neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He also has an appointment in the Whiting School\u2019s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He conducts research on neurological instrumentation, biomedical signal processing, micro and nanotechnologies, neural prosthesis, clinical applications of neural and rehabilitation technologies, and brain-machine interface.<\/p>\n

Thakor directs the Laboratory for Neuroengineering and is also the director of the NIH Training Grant on Neuroengineering.<\/p>\n

One of Thakor\u2019s research projects, in collaboration with a multi-university consortium funded by DARPA, focuses on developing a next-generation neurally controlled upper limb prosthesis. He is actively engaged in developing international scientific programs, collaborative exchanges, tutorials, and conferences in the field of biomedical engineering.<\/p>\n

He received his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, in Bombay, India. He earned both a master’s and doctoral degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Thakor joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 1983.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3860","people","type-people","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNitish Thakor - Doctor of Engineering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/faculty\/nitish-thakor\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nitish Thakor - Doctor of Engineering\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nitish Thakor is a professor of biomedical engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering and neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
