About

Sota Saeki is a rising researcher in neural engineering and bioelectronics, with a focus on developing wirelessly powered implantable devices for motor rehabilitation. His most-cited work introduces a wirelessly powered four-channel neurostimulator designed to reconstruct walking trajectories in rats by applying selective Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to peripheral nerves controlling the ankle and knee joints. This system eliminates the need for bulky batteries or tethered connections, advancing the practicality of chronic neural interfaces. Saeki’s contributions lie in miniaturizing power delivery and stimulation control, enabling precise, multi-joint movement restoration. Though early in his career, his work has already garnered citations, reflecting its relevance to neuroprosthetics and rehabilitation engineering. By integrating wireless power transfer with multi-channel stimulation, Saeki addresses key challenges in translating FES from laboratory settings to real-world applications. His research holds promise for developing next-generation neurostimulators that could eventually aid individuals with spinal cord injury or motor impairments, marking him as a notable emerging voice in the field of bioelectronic medicine.
