Bio
Cameron Taylor is an Assistant Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State.
Dr. Taylor develops human interfaces that restore ability in persons with movement disorders resulting from various neuromusculoskeletal factors. During his doctorate at MIT, he developed the first clinically viable technology for real-time muscle tissue length tracking, from first principles through implantation in human patients. His background is wide-ranging, from research in magnetoquasistatics, electromagnetic signal propagation, and algorithm design to neural interfacing and muscle physiology, and his work lives at the intersection of these fields.
He is the recipient of the 2023 Promising Investigator Award at the Rocky Mountain Muscle Symposium Pre-Conference Summit, and his research has been featured in various news outlets, including Physics World, Electronic Design and MIT Technology Review. He can often be found spending time with his family, tinkering with electronics at his workbench, reading a Brandon Sanderson book, cooking focaccia or trail running in the forest.
