Peter Tass
Professor of Neurosurgery
BioDr. Peter Tass investigates and develops neuromodulation techniques for understanding and treating neurologic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, dysfunction following stroke and tinnitus. He creates invasive and non-invasive therapeutic procedures by means of comprehensive computational neuroscience studies and advanced data analysis techniques. The computational neuroscience studies guide experiments that use clinical electrophysiology measures, such as high density EEG recordings and MRI imaging, and various outcome measures. He has pioneered a neuromodulation approach based on thorough computational modelling that employs dynamic self-organization, plasticity and other neuromodulation principles to produce sustained effects after stimulation. To investigate stimulation effects and disease-related brain activity, he focuses on the development of stimulation methods that cause a sustained neural desynchronization by an unlearning of abnormal synaptic interactions. He also performs and contributes to pre-clinical and clinical research in related areas.

Christopher John Tassone
Associate Professor (Research) of Photon Science
BioChristopher J. Tassone, PhD is the Associate Lab Director for the Energy Sciences Directorate. His scientific interests lie in the development and characterization of advanced materials for energy. Dr. Tassone’s research addresses critical challenges in energy transition materials, plastics production, and catalysis, with the goal of improving energy technologies and utilizing domestically secure feedstocks. He is an expert in synchrotron-based X-ray scattering techniques, which he uses to probe the time resolved structure of materials as they are synthesized, and how they evolve under operation. He compliments this focus on developing operando and in-situ methods, with the development and application of machine learning for data interpretation and experimental steering. Through this work, Dr. Tassone helps accelerate the discovery of innovative materials for energy and catalysis.
