About
Amanda Felouzis is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroengineering, biophysics, and sensory feedback technologies. Her work centers on two transformative areas: automating high-precision electrophysiology and restoring complex sensory perception for prosthetic users. Felouzis is the lead author of "PatcherBot: a single-cell electrophysiology robot for adherent cells and brain slices" (2019, 56 citations), a landmark contribution that introduced a fully robotic system for intracellular patch-clamp recording. By automating one of the most labor-intensive yet essential techniques in cellular neuroscience, PatcherBot dramatically increases throughput and reproducibility, enabling large-scale studies of neuronal and cellular biophysics that were previously impractical. More recently, Felouzis has broken new ground in sensory restoration. Her 2024 study, "Remapping Wetness Perception in Upper Limb Amputees" (3 citations), demonstrates a wearable thermal device that provides amputees with a sense of wetness—a previously unachieved sensory modality. This work, developed in collaboration with Solaiman Shokur and Maria Ploumitsakoo, opens a new frontier in haptic feedback for prosthetics, moving beyond simple touch and pressure to nuanced environmental perception. Felouzis’s dual contributions—automating foundational neuroscience tools and expanding the sensory palette for prosthetic users—mark her as a creative and impactful force in modern biomedical engineering.
