Speaker Biography:

• Miles Johnson is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. He obtained a B.S. from Cornell University, after which he worked on the imaging team on the Mars Exploration Rover missions. Currently, he works on applying principles from robotics and control theory to design better neural interfaces. In particular, his research uses non-invasive neural sensors such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) to provide control over vehicles with complex dynamics, for example wheelchairs, cars, and aircraft.
