We develop scalable bioelectrical engineering platforms for three-dimensional neural systems. Our work integrates automated culture systems, high-density electrophysiology, cloud-connected experimentation, and mathematical modeling to study and modulate multicellular brain models, including organoids, cortical slices, and engineered tissues. These platforms support applications in biomolecular engineering, biomechanics, robotics, and assistive technologies.
