Kevin Englehart

PhD, PEng | Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering

I am a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Brunswick, and currently serve as Associate Dean in the School of Graduate Studies. I conduct my research at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering. It lies at the intersection of machine learning, biomedical engineering, and human motor control, with a focus on developing intelligent systems that support rehabilitation and recovery. I work on technologies that use electromyography to control powered upper limb prostheses and human-machine interfaces, and feedback systems that enhance motor learning and neuroplasticity following traumatic injuries to the central nervous system. I am particularly interested in how feedback mechanisms can improve both control and motor function recovery, and in modeling neural systems to better understand motor control and decode efferent pathway signals. I am committed to mentoring students who are passionate about applying engineering to improve lives.
