Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Xu is a Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate and research scientist in Los Angeles with 11 years of experience building mechanistic neural models and hardware for neural prosthetics. He develops anatomically constrained hippocampal models and leverages GAN-based deep learning and latent dynamics to boost decoding stability and memory-restoration performance across animals. His work spans both computational methods—statistical inference, stochastic modeling, dimensionality reduction—and hands-on hardware design for ultrasonic and electrophysiological neural interfaces. At USC and prior roles at Duke and Keck, he has delivered end-to-end systems from PCB and transducer design to simulation and algorithm optimization, increasing productivity metrics by nearly 100%. He combines rigorous engineering with translational focus, routinely bridging grant-writing, teaching, and multidisciplinary collaboration to move neural prosthetic concepts toward real-world impact.
