Biography
Dr. Matija Milosevic is the Director of Neuromotor Rehabilitation for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis and an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Miami.
Prior to joining The Miami Project, he was an Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University, Japan. Dr. Milosevic received a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, Canada in 2015. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Tokyo, Japan, with a research focus on human neurophysiology.
Dr. Milosevic’s team is dedicated to improving the lives of people with spinal cord injuries by advancing neuromotor recovery through neuromodulation. -
Research Interests
My research focuses on developing neuromodulation and brain-computer interface technologies to restore motor function and improve the quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injuries. Using a transdisciplinary approach that integrates neural engineering, neuroscience, and clinical translation, my team develops and tests therapeutic electrical stimulation techniques to activate neuroplasticity in spinal and corticospinal circuits. Our work emphasizes clinical translation and advancing rehabilitation practices to enhance independence and motor recovery outcomes. -
