Ashley Dalrymple

Dr. Ashley Dalrymple is an assistant professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia and a principal investigator at International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD). She also holds a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Spinal Cord Neuromodulation.

Dr. Dalrymple is the director of the Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation Via Electrical Stimulation (NERVES) Lab, an interdisciplinary research group focused on using electrical stimulation and neural interfaces to improve sensorimotor function after neural injury. Her work combines engineering, neuroscience, computing science and rehabilitation to improve walking, restore sensation and reduce pain through both preclinical and clinical studies.

Her research spans neural interfaces, rehabilitation of walking, sensorimotor control, neuromodulation and reinforcement learning. Dr. Dalrymple has worked extensively with spinal cord stimulation, implanted neural interfaces, and machine learning approaches to improve control of movement and reduce neuropathic and phantom limb pain.
