Biography
Dr. Enrico Opri received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida, where he focused on closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the improved treatment of patients affected by essential tremor and the mechanism of thalamocortical communication in motor behavior in humans. As a postdoctoral fellow, his research interest focused on engineering-guided and objective electrophysiology-based methodologies for the improvement and enhancement of DBS programming and surgical implantation in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
