About me

I study electrical neurostimulation through computational models and experiments, and turn the results into visuals that engineers trust and non-experts understand.

My research focuses on spinal cord stimulation: volume-conductor simulations of the stimulating field, axon and fibre activation modelling, and 3D reconstruction of spinal anatomy, from parametric generic models to patient-specific models built from MRI. On the experimental side I work with electrophysiological recordings, which keep the models grounded in measured data.

Before my PhD I worked in industry on AI and software development. That’s why the pipelines behind this work are scripted, tested and reproducible. It’s also what makes variants cheap: once a scene exists as code, a different spinal level or approach is a parameter change, not a new production.

The name

NodixLab is my independent practice. The name comes from the node: the basic point of every finite-element mesh, and the node of Ranvier, where a nerve signal jumps from one gap in the myelin to the next. In this work, every node counts.

How projects run

1. Brief. You tell me what needs to be shown, to whom and where. An NDA can be signed before you share details.
2. Scientific check. I check the anatomy, the mechanism and any claims against the literature and your data, and flag what can be computed and what will be an artistic choice.
3. Storyboard. You approve the sequence of shots and the key frames before production starts.
4. Production. Geometry, scene and animation are built as scripts, so changes stay cheap.
5. Revisions. You review the result and I make the changes. One round of revisions is included.

Languages

I work in English, German and Arabic.
