Chuyi Cui, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
Bio
Dr. Chuyi Cui is a postdoctoral scholar in the Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomechanics and Motor Control, with a minor in Gerontology, from Purdue University. Her doctoral research focused on understanding gait control and stability in healthy aging, through comprehensive investigations of the kinematics and kinetics of adaptive locomotion in young and older adults. At Stanford, her postdoctoral research expanded to clinical populations, aiming to uncover the mechanisms underlying gait dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. Under the guidance of Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart, she contributes to clinical trials on closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's Disease, utilizing advanced neuromodulation technology to develop and evaluate DBS therapies that adapt in real time to patients' motor fluctuations and alleviate gait symptoms.
