About
Stephanie A. Goretski is a biomedical engineer whose research lies at the critical intersection of neural interfaces and prosthetic control. Her most-cited work, "Electrode characterization for use in a Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface" (2013), directly addresses a fundamental challenge in advanced limb replacement: how to create electrodes that can both stimulate and record from regenerated nerve tissue with high fidelity. This foundational study characterized the electrical performance of electrodes designed for the Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI)—a groundbreaking approach that uses a small muscle graft to amplify neural signals from residual nerves. By demonstrating that these electrodes could provide the fine motor control and sensory feedback essential for intuitive prosthetic operation, Goretski helped lay the engineering groundwork for a technology that promises to restore natural movement to amputees. Her work, while early in its citation history, represents a critical step toward closing the loop between human biology and robotic limbs, making her a key contributor to the next generation of neuroprosthetic devices.
