Craig Shelby Henriquez (1958/1959 – August 24, 2023) was an American biomedical engineer, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science at the Duke University, and was the co-founder and co-director of the Center for Neuroengineering. His research interests were in the areas of large-scale computer modeling of the cardiac bidomain and neuroengineering.
Biography
[edit]Craig Shelby Henriquez[1] received the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in biomedical engineering and electrical engineering from Duke University in 1981.[2][3] He continued his studies at Duke and received the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in biomedical engineering in 1988. His Ph.D. advisor was Robert Plonsey and his dissertation was titled "Structure and Volume Conductor Effects on Propagation in Cardiac Tissue".[2][4]
In 1989, Henriquez was appointed Research Assistant Professor in 1989, Assistant Professor in 1991, and Associate Professor in 1998 in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science at Duke University. In 2001, he was named the first Medtronics Visiting Professor of Virtual Electrophysiology, in the Department of Cardiology, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.[5]
In 2003, he and Miguel Nicolelis founded and co-directed the Center for Neuroengineering where they developed a Brain Machine Interface in which electrode arrays were implanted into a monkey's brain that were able to detect the monkey's motor intent and thus able to control reaching and grasping movements performed by a robotic arm.[6]
Henriquez was elected to serve as the chair of the Duke University's Academic Council from 2009-2011. He was the James L. and Elizabeth M. Vincent Professor of Biomedical Engineering and served as the chairman of the Department of Biomedical engineering from 2011 to 2014. He also served on several journal editorial boards.
Craig Henriquez died on August 24, 2023, at the age of 64.[2]
