Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

James J. Abbas is a professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research focuses on the activation of the peripheral nervous system through electrical stimulation, aiming to develop more selective and comfortable sensations for therapeutic and assistive applications. He has investigated the modulation of stimulation parameters, such as pulse charge and burst period, to elicit distinct referred sensations. His work also explores novel neurostimulation-based haptic feedback platforms for enhanced interaction with virtual objects.

Dr. Abbas is a principal investigator on federal grants from the NIH/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. One grant, totaling $634,078, focuses on enhancing sensorimotor integration using a neural-enabled prosthetic hand system. Another grant, for $139,448, aims to improve bioelectronic selectivity with intrafascicular stimulation.

With a h-index of 22 and over 1,700 citations across 122 publications, Dr. Abbas is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His collaborations include work with Andres E. Pena, Ranu Jung, Arianna Ortega Sanabria, and Sathyakumar S. Kuntaegowdanahalli, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
