Dr Yunpeng Zhang

We are pleased to welcome Dr Yunpeng Zhang to the Unit. Yunpeng is an electrical engineer and comes to us from the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIBET), Suzhou, China. Yunpeng is visiting Professor Peter Brown’s Group to put the finishing touches to a device that will allow the simultaneous stimulation and recording of brain sites in patients who have just undergone functional neurosurgery. He has developed the device in conjunction with Professor Shouyan Wang at SIBET. While visiting the Unit, Yunpeng will be working closely with Dr Jean Debarros, who has been optimising closed-loop ‘deep brain stimulation’ algorithms in the Unit.
