Biography
Dr Charalambous is a motor neuroscientist and rehabilitationist with emphasis in locomotor recovery after stroke. Since October 2023, he has been a faculty in the Division of Stroke and Vascular Neurology, Department of Neurology, at the Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA. Prior to this position, he completed a PhD degree in Health and Rehabilitation Science and three postdoctoral fellowships. The overarching aim of his research is to understand the plasticity of the descending motor pathways as it relates to sensorimotor function of walking and how to harness that plasticity to promote walking recovery in people post-stroke. His research vision is to fill the existing knowledge gap on the role of the motor descending drives during locomotion and subsequently to progress and develop mechanism-driven strategies to enhance locomotor performance and recovery in individuals with stroke, so they can achieve safe, independent, and efficient walking for longer, healthier lives. His areas of research expertise are the assessment and modulation of motor descending pathways using non-invasive brain stimulation tools, neuromechanical analysis of human movement, human locomotor control and learning, tracking of the neural and motor recovery in clinical cohorts, and use of computational approaches for the analysis of neurophysiological and neuromechanical data.
