Associate Professor @ CCNY · VP ML @ Optios

Work at the intersection of brains, data, and decisions.

I’m an Associate Professor at CCNY working at the intersection of neural engineering and machine learning. I develop tools to modulate brain activity with ultrasound and to extract causal relationships from neural recordings.

I also lead machine learning efforts at Optios, helping to turn advances in AI into scalable neurotechnology and brain–computer interfaces for real-world performance gains.

About

Brief bio.

I was born in Gdansk, Poland and lived in the same apartment complex as Lech Walesa. My father was a mechanical engineer and moved our family to Canada on a post-doctoral fellowship from the Canadian government in the late 1980s. After growing up and conducting my graduate studies in electrical engineering in Canada, that same post-doctoral fellowship program allowed me to move to the United States twenty years later to pursue my interests in the brain. I now reside in Montclair, NJ with my wife and two daughters.

Neurotechnology

Non-invasive stimulation, BCIs, and quantifying causal structure in brain data.

Machine learning

Probabilistic models, time-series methods, and robust inference under uncertainty.

Sports betting

A hobby turned research track: estimation, calibration, and decision theory.
