About Me
Elisa Kallioniemi, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Director of the Brain Stimulation Lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). She is a neural engineer and a brain stimulation scientist. In her research, she uses brain stimulation to develop neuroscientific methods to study the brain and approaches to modulate brain activity for therapeutic strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Professor Kallioniemi received her Bachelor’s and Master's degrees from Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering in Finland. She obtained her Ph.D. in Applied Physics (medical physics) from the University of Eastern Finland. Alongside her Ph.D., she also undertook practical clinical training in medical physics (in radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, clinical physiology, diagnostic radiology, and clinical neurophysiology). Before joining NJIT, Professor Kallioniemi was a postdoctoral researcher first in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford Medicine, followed by a postdoctoral position in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
