Summary
Jeffrey Weiss is a bioengineer and neurotechnology consultant with 13 years of hands-on experience developing and testing intracortical brain-computer interfaces at the Rehab Neural Engineering Labs, University of Pittsburgh. He designs both software and custom hardware for closed-loop BCIs that control high-degree-of-freedom robotic arms while providing somatosensory feedback via microstimulation. As a staff research engineer he supports human BCI studies and now provides engineering integration for Blackrock Neurotech to enable multi-platform neurostimulator control. His background spans finite element modeling, spike sorting, experimental software, and custom electronics—skills that bridge computational modeling and practical bedside systems. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines academic rigor from an MS in Bioengineering with real-world device integration experience, often translating complex neural signals into reliable clinical interfaces. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move between low-level hardware debugging and high-level experimental design, making him effective across the full BCI development stack.
