Top School

Rik Ubaghs is a neuroengineer and entrepreneur with nine years of experience at the intersection of experimental neuroscience, signal processing, and biomedical engineering, now co-founding Arago Labs in Zurich. During a PhD at ETH Zürich he engineered an MR-compatible microscope enabling the first simultaneous whole-brain fMRI and microscopic imaging (calcium, voltage, vascular), bridging scales from cellular activity to systems-level BOLD signals. He pairs hands-on hardware and imaging development with data engineering experience from the medical industry, enabling end-to-end acquisition, processing, and analysis pipelines. Rik’s work blends curiosity-driven neuroscience with practical tech delivery, and he is particularly interested in brain–machine interfaces and applying machine learning to decode neurophysiological signals. An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate complex experimental constraints into robust, deployable instrumentation that advances both research and clinical workflows.
