Intro
After leading teams in cutting-edge areas like automatic speech recognition, GPS and location-based services, and Data Science, I’ve returned to an original challenge: understanding how the brain works by decoding real-time neural signals from multi-channel electrode arrays — now with a translational focus on human applications such as brain–computer interfaces (BCI) for speech.
Mission
Transform brain signals into meaningful outcomes — whether that’s restoring speech, predicting cognitive decline, or enabling new kinds of neural interfaces.
Projects
- Neural speech decoding from open-source data (Willett et al., 2023; Wairagkar, et al., 2025)
- Multi-modal neuroimaging biomarkers of neurodegeneration from open-source data (ADNI)
Work Style
- Respect the Data
- Hypothesis-driven
- Iterative MVP Development
- Open to collaboration
