About
Dr. Hamid Charkhkar is a leading biomedical engineer whose research focuses on neural interfaces and neuroprosthetics, particularly for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb loss. His most impactful work centers on developing high-density peripheral nerve cuffs that enable natural, intuitive sensation for lower-limb amputees. In his landmark 2018 study, cited over 130 times, Dr. Charkhkar demonstrated that these advanced neural interfaces can restore critical sensory input, allowing users to better maintain balance, navigate uneven terrain, and respond to unexpected perturbations—fundamental capabilities that reduce fall risk and build confidence for societal participation. This contribution addresses a critical gap in prosthetic technology, as sensory feedback is essential for safe ambulation and real-world mobility. Dr. Charkhkar’s work bridges neural engineering and clinical rehabilitation, offering transformative potential for amputees seeking to regain natural movement and independence. His research continues to push the boundaries of how peripheral nerves can be harnessed to create more lifelike, functional prosthetics.
