Come be my colleague! UW ECE has multiple openings for tenure-track faculty at both the assistant and associate level. It's a great, collaborative place with a very inclusive definition of electrical & computer engineering. apply.interfolio.com/156207 apply.interfolio.com/156210

Drafting a new talk and somehow started with an intro zooming all the way out to ideas of mass action vs. functional specialization. Definitely going to take some editing to home in on this narrative... πŸ˜…

I suspect a timeline cleans dog might be useful for some of y'all right now. So here's my dog living it up playing fetch after making it through a bit of a rough week:

Think government ROI is low? In the β€˜60s, #NIH-funded researchers Hubel & Wiesel studied how cats’ neurons process visual infoβ€”seemed trivial, right? Yet their work led to convolutional neural networks like Hinton’s AlexNet, sparking the AI revolution that’s reshaping the global

Year over year ROI from government investment in research is 30-100 percent. Far more than the stock market and most of the private sector. americanprogress.org/article/the-hi… economicstrategygroup.org/publication/se…

Honored to be part of the inaugural cohort of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) Emerging Leaders! aimbe.org/aimbe-selects-… So excited to learn from those shaping the future of medical and biological engineering as part of the program.

What do we mean when we say BCI? As neuro technologies mature, it's important for scientists to use cohesive language to talk about them with the public. Here's a nice commentary piece where Jacob Robinson and co. lay out a proposal. Just in time for the holidays 🎁

After reading many grad school apps, I would be remiss not to give some advice: People can tell when a human put thought into an essay. It doesn't make a strong case for you, an applicant to a position that involves LOTS of thinking, when that effort isn't there

Is our brain infinitely flexible or constrained? Oby & colleagues cleverly uses BCIs to test what cortical activity can/can't be generated quickly. Highly recommend! nature.com/articles/s4159… And you can get a tl;dr + my takes on why this is exciting here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Honored to receive a Sloan research fellowship. So many scientists I admire are among the Sloan alumni list, and it's a bit surreal to see my name there. A huge thank you to the Alfred P. Sloan foundation for their unwaivering dedication to supporting scientific research.
