Dustin Tyler Students

Laura McGann

Case Western Reserve, Biomedical engineering, Class of 2027

Laura’s research examines user experience and performance in the context of human-in-the-loop (HITL) systems through a combination of physiological, functional, and subjective measures. The goal is to study how tactile feedback and other informational HITL interface elements affect phenomenological outcomes like embodiment.

Leah Marie Roldan

Case Western Reserve, Neuroengineering, Class of 2024

Leah’s research is focused on evaluating how multiple perception points are integrated and perceived, and how temporal properties of stimulation may alter the final sensation.

Margaux Randolph

Case Western Reserve, Neuroengineering, Class of 2027

Margaux’s research is focused on preclinical peripheral nerve interface development for applications in sensory restoration and chronic pain. She is specifically concerned with the development of highly selective interfaces which can increase the therapeutic capabilities of peripheral nerve stimulation as a whole.
