Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Andres E. Pena's research focuses on the development and application of neurostimulation techniques for haptic feedback, particularly for individuals with limb differences. His work investigates how electrical stimulation can elicit selective and comfortable sensations, aiming to improve prosthetic limb control and sensory restoration. Pena has published on strategies for enhancing two-dimensional control using single-channel haptic feedback and the modulation of stimulation parameters to create distinct referred sensations. His research also explores novel platforms for grasp interactions with virtual objects using neurostimulation-based haptic feedback.

Pena collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including James J. Abbas, Sathyakumar S. Kuntaegowdanahalli, Ranu Jung, and T R Benigni, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 10 total publications and 98 citations.
