 | Carlos Cela started his Electrical Engineering
studies at the Universidad Technologica Nacional in Buenos Aires, Argentina, later transferring to North Carolina State University, where he completed his BSEE in 2006.
Carlos is currently pursuing a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and working as a Graduate Research Assistant with the BEML Research Group
at North Carolina State University. His research interests include numerical electromagnetics, bioelectromagnetics and applied computational sciences.
Carlos' research efforts have been aimed at creating efficient computational methods for modeling effects of low frequency electromagnetic stimuli in neural tissue, in the context of a larger multi-agency, multi-disciplinary effort to develop a retinal implant for restoring visual function to people suffering from certain type of degenerative diseases of the eye.
His research work has been highly interdisciplinary and characterized by intensive multi-institutional interactions: to date, it resulted in multiple peer-reviewed conference papers and an invited book chapter. As part of his research work Carlos has participated in several international conferences, as well as collaborative efforts with groups from Los Alamos National Laboratories, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, Doheny Retina Institute at USC , and the private enterprise Second Sight. When not in the lab or taking classes, Carlos can be found practicing or teaching Yoga around the Triangle area.

Randy Barlow grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and began his higher
education in Physics and Mathematics at Covenant College in Lookout
Mountain, Georgia. He finished his undergraduate studies in Electrical
Engineering at North Carolina State University in Fall 2005, and is
currently working on his Master's Degree. Randy's research interests include the Impedance Method, Finite Difference Time Domain Method,
Stereolithography, Bioelectromagnetics. Randy works primarily with the impedance method, using it to determine
the optimal design for an electrode array that will be used to restore
partial sight to those who suffer from Macular Degeneration. He also
works with the Finite Difference Time Domain method of electromagnetic
simulation to determine the effects of the human hand on the radiation
pattern of a cellular telephone. In his other life, Randy is a musician and songwriter. His instrument
of choice is the bass (upright as well as electric) but he also plays
guitar, hand drums, and dabbles in vocals as well as piano. He is also
a Linux enthusiast (Gentoo is his distro of choice) and has worked as a
Linux developer for the rPath distribution.

Sundar Srinivas got his Bachelors in Engineering Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 2004 and joined NCSU physics department the same year as a doctoral student. Sundar's areas of interest are Bioelectromagnetism and Computational Mathematics. Sundar is currently working on the “Retinal Prosthesis” project under Dr. Gianlucca Lazzi, Dept. of ECE, NCSU, on the stimulation of nerve cells by time varying magnetic fields. Analytical and Numerical methods (FINIT DIFFERNECE) are being investigated to solve Poisson Equation for Magnetic Vector potential and calculate the induced eddy currents. Back in summers 2003 Sundar did an internship on Gravitational Waves detection under the supervision of Dr. Giorgio Frossati, the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, Leiden, the Netherlands.
His other interests are in String Theory, Quantum Computing. My hobbies include playing guitar, volley, baddy.

Vinit Singh was born in Jamshedpur, India. He completed his BSc in Mathematics for a year (1997-98) in St. Stephens College, Delhi, before joining IIT Roorkee, India for a BTech (1998-2002) in Electronics & Communication Engineering. After undergraduate studies, Vinit pursued a MS in EE (major in Electronic Materials & Devices) at University of Cincinnati, USA (2002-2004), and joined NCSU for a PhD in Electrical Engineering in Fall 2004. Vinit's current research interests interests are in micro-fabrication, applied computational electromagnetics, and EM interaction of biological systems. His current work involves characterizing of a prototype retinal prosthesis system for a safety evaluation. It involves modeling; and developing numerical methods for interaction of human tissue and EM fields, and thermal effects due to implanted materials. In his free time (rare), Vinit likes to (in order of priority) play guitar, play badminton/racquetball/tennis/run, and read. |
