Fraser Douglas

Fraser Douglas is a PhD Candidate in School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of British Columbia, where he is exploring the applicability of wearable sensors – specifically surface electromyography {sEMG} – for tracking stroke recovery progress in lower limb muscles. Previously, Fraser received his MEng in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland in 2021, where he worked on improving the intuitiveness of upper-limb myoelectric prosthesis control and streamlining the process for amputee rehabilitation and prosthesis training. In addition to his academic work, Fraser has industry experience in the fields of control system and printed circuit board design working as Control Engineer for Mage Control Systems, as well as prosthesis research and development in his time as an Upper-Limb R&D Intern with Ossur. Beyond this, Fraser’s research interests include machine learning, electronics, biosignal processing and analysis, neurophysiology, and rehabilitation engineering.
