Lisa Simone, PhD

Lisa Simone, PhD	Lisa Simone, PhD, is an assistant research professor in the department of biomedical engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her current research focus is in the area of rehabilitation engineering, which uses technology to improve ability to measure physical function in individuals with disabilities such as brain injury and spinal cord injury. Simone is developing the wearable wireless Shadow Monitor, a device to assess hand function rehabilitation in individuals following brain injury. The goal of this research is to characterize and understand hand function over long periods of time as individuals participate in home and community activities. Recent publications include If I Only Changed the Software, Why Is the Phone on Fire? (Elsevier, 2007), which provides unique solutions to typical software debugging problems. Simone received her PhD in biomedical engineering from Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ); an MSE in management of technology from the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School; a master of science in biomedical engineering from Rutgers University and UMDNJ; and a bachelor of science in electrical engineering from Rutgers University and UMDNJ.
