Matt has a doctorate in mechanical engineering and is experienced in developing high-performance, bio-inspired robotic systems like running bipeds and exoskeletons. Matt wrote his dissertation on controlling human muscles using electrical stimulation and is now applying his expertise as the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of MYOLYN. When not at MYOLYN, Matt is either in the gym, playing video games, or spending time with his wife and pets. John is one of MYOLYN’s original employees and is an embedded systems engineer helping to develop MYOLYN ‘s core stimulation software. John’s previous project experience includes work on a robotic exoskeleton as well as data acquisition systems for a NASCAR team. In his free time you might find him spectating at a local race track, online playing IRacing, or watching the Florida Gators play football. As another one of MYOLYN’s original employees, Jacob uses his magical circuit design knowledge to develop reliable and low cost stimulation solutions for MYOLYN’s revolutionary FES products. A long time ago, when Eiffel 65 was the new trend, Abel was bitten by the integrated circuits bug in the world of dusty PCBs and scrap computers. As an immigrant, Abel found himself learning what hard work and starting from zero means. Now as a U.S. citizen, he spends his days dreaming about how to improve people’s lives as an electrical engineer and jack-of-all-trades problem solver at MYOLYN. With over 18 years of experience training individuals with neurological and physical disabilities, Eric brings a unique perspective on adaptive performance and neuro-recovery to MYOLYN. Eric helped co-found the first activity-based recovery center in southern California, where he was the Director of R&D for 13 years. He also runs Neuro-Ex, a mobile activity-based training program that helps maximize functional ability for clients with SCI, TBI, stroke, MS, and other conditions. Eric is excited to be working with MYOLYN to help bring cutting edge equipment to the neurological recovery market. (FES) uses small amounts of electrical current to empower people with weakened or paralyzed muscles to perform functional movements. FES is applied via electrode pads placed on the skin over target muscle groups. The electrical current stimulates the peripheral nerves in the muscle, causing the nerve to fire. This, in turn, causes the muscle to contract, using the body’s own potential energy to perform functional movement, hence MYOLYN’s slogan: Powering Your Potential. can be used to help people with neurological disorders like spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and more. It can also benefit people who have trouble activating their muscles after an orthopedic surgery like an ACL reconstruction or knee replacement. MYOLYN has years of experience researching and developing the latest FES technologies. The company's first products use FES to empower people living with muscle weakness or paralysis to perform therapeutic load-bearing exercise in the form of
