Research / case study

Head modeling and electric-field simulation (Bikson Lab)

ongoingJul 2026 – present

Building head models, placing stimulation electrodes, and simulating the electric fields they produce, in an ongoing mentored project.

Question

How stimulation-electrode placement shapes the electric field inside a head model.

My role

Undergraduate Researcher, Bikson Lab, The City College of New York (mentored project).

Data

Head-model geometries and finite-element simulations.

Tools

• Simpleware (head models, electrode placement)
• COMSOL Multiphysics (meshing, finite-element analysis)

• neuromodulation
• head-modeling
• fea

What I do

• Develop head models and position stimulation electrodes in Simpleware, then export the geometries to COMSOL for meshing and finite-element analysis.
• Generate electric-field magnitude plots from the COMSOL simulations to examine how the field is distributed in space.
• Parametric 3D modeling of skin for EC stimulation.
