| Biography |
Dr Stamoulis received the BS, MS and PhD degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her doctoral work focused on the propagation of ice-induced acoustic waves in the Arctic ocean.
Following post-doctoral work in underwater acoustics and theoretical seismology, at MIT and at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard, respectively, Dr. Stamoulis moved to the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC. As a research scientist jointly at MIT and NRL she conducted research in underwater acoustics and wave propagation in shallow water.
In 2004, she returned to MIT as a post-doctoral researcher at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, where her research focused on the motor system and the modulation of oscillatory neuronal activity by motor behaviors. From 2007 to 2009 she was a research fellow in the department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health where her work focused on the development of signal processing methods and models of propagation of epileptic activity in the brain. In 2009 she joined the Neurology faculty at Harvard Medical School and conducts her research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in collaboration with several colleagues in the Department of Neurology and the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The first focus of her work is on epilepsy, brain stimulation and genomics. Specifically, she develops signal processing techniques and models to understand propagation of seizure activity and stimulation signals in the brain, and their effects on neuronal dynamics. The second focus of her current work is the development of quantitative methods for the analysis of array-based genomic data, and the detection of genome-wide allelic copy number changes associated with neurological diseases. |
