Wasim Q. Malik PhD

Dr. Wasim Q. Malik is the Director of the Laboratory for Neuromotor Signal Processing and Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. He is affiliated with the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He also holds visiting appointments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brown University. He is also with the Center of Excellence for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology, Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Providence, RI.

Wasim received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Oxford, UK, in 2005. In his doctoral research, he designed high data-rate ultrawideband (UWB) systems for indoor wireless communications. From 2005 to 2007, he was a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where he developed MIMO signal processing techniques for multi-gigabit UWB wireless communications. From 2007-2010, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MIT LIDS and MIT/Harvard NSRL with Prof. Emery Brown, where he conducted research in computational neuroscience focusing on statistical signal processing and adaptive filtering algorithms for two-photon neuroimaging and neural decoding.
