Erynne San Antonio is a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University. She earned her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Florida, where she conducted research on PEDOT:PSS microwires to optimize electrochemical properties for neural electrodes under Dr. Kevin Otto and Dr. Scott Thourson.
Currently, she investigates the mechanisms of noninvasive ultrasonic neuromodulation in Parkinsonian neural circuits, using high-speed voltage and calcium imaging techniques. Her research focuses on how low-intensity focused transcranial ultrasound influences neuronal activity, synaptic plasticity, and behavior in Parkinson’s disease models, advised by Dr. Xue Han. Her goal is to advance neuromodulation techniques that can contribute to disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative disorders.
