Senior🎓
Top SchoolIahn Cajigas is a neurosurgeon and neuroengineer with 12 years of experience bridging clinical practice and engineering research, currently serving as Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Trained at MIT (MEng, PhD) and Harvard Medical School (MD), he brings deep expertise in signal processing, adaptive neuro-rehabilitation, and functional/epilepsy neurosurgery from roles at UCSF and the University of Miami. He directs translational work that integrates statistical neuroscience and control algorithms with surgical care, translating lab-developed neural decoding and stimulation methods into clinical practice. His background includes engineering roles at MIT and JPL, giving him rare fluency in both embedded systems and high-dimensional neuroscience data analysis. Comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams, he pairs hands-on surgical skill with algorithm development to push closed-loop neuromodulation toward real-world use. Outside the OR and lab he has taught and led complex operations—from SCUBA instruction to field health tech deployments—highlighting a practical, safety-first approach to innovation.
