Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Dekleva is a research scientist with 16 years of experience applying quantitative analysis to high-dimensional biological data, currently focused on large-scale neural recordings to decode cortical control of upper limb and hand movement. He translates neural insights into practical brain-computer interface algorithms aimed at restoring function for people with quadriplegia and amputation, blending rigorous project design with hands-on implementation. Trained with a PhD in Bioengineering from Northwestern and a summa cum laude bioengineering BS, he pairs deep technical expertise with clear technical communication across research and engineering teams. Based in Pittsburgh, he brings a track record of moving discoveries from analysis to translational prototypes and is equally comfortable shaping experimental questions as building the algorithms that answer them.
