Sridevi Sarma, a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, develops computational, data-driven, and biological approaches to advance the knowledge and treatment of diseases of the nervous system including epilepsy, chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, and insomnia. Sarma, who is also the Whiting School's vice dean for graduate education, harnesses dynamic systems and control theory to understand how the brain governs complex behaviors, including motor control and decision making.
Sarma, who is the associate director of Hopkins' Institute of Computational Medicine (ICM), founded and directs the Neuromedical Control Systems Lab (NCSL). The mission of NCSL is to develop knowledge and computational tools that can be translated into the clinic. As an example, her groundbreaking research and tools are helping to shape treatment of epilepsy.
