New research by a George Fox professor is being hailed as a potential landmark breakthrough in the treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and epilepsy.
The work of Robert Melendy — who holds a doctorate and teaches physics, math and engineering at the Newberg school — is being billed as a possible “Holy Grail” development in neuroscience.
Melendy’s research began in 2015 when he was an associate professor of electrical engineering at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. It continued for six years while he served in a similar role at Oregon Institute of Technology before he was hired at George Fox’s department of electrical engineering and computer science in 2023…
