I have a strong interest in transferring brain-based technologies into real-world applications. I have pursued this in two ways. First, I am co-directing a technology transfer effort within CELEST at Boston University. This effort, the CELEST Catalyst, will create an intermediate solution between CELEST labs and researchers and outside industries. Its main goals are to promote collaboration between academia and industry by encouraging industry sponsorship of graduate students and internships, promote entrepreneurship through patent and SBIR/STTR workshops, and to generally market CELEST based technologies for outside industrial partners.
In addition to my work within CELEST, the start-up company that I co-founded, Neurala, has been actively building brain based technologies for a wide variety of applications. The company has worked with other companies involved in defense, conservation and agriculture, and general product development. Two of Neurala’s major projects are highlighted below.
