Interdisciplinary neuroengineer developing augmented progressive brain replacement — a radical procedure for treating neurodegeneration, brain injuries, and ageing through patient-specific neural grafts designed for piece-wise replacement and neuronal-level modulation. I lead Eightsix Science, an applied neuroscience startup I founded, to combine neural tissue engineering, biohybrid brain-computer interfaces, and microsurgery to seamlessly integrate these optimised grafts with the host’s brain. Ultimately, we aim to achieve ectopic cognitive preservation, an approach to sustain cognition outside its original biological context and potentially within virtual reality.
Building on a background in wetware computing, brain-computer interfaces, and computational neuroscience, I have contributed to projects ranging from whole-brain simulations at the Blue Brain Project to closed-loop control of virtual avatars using human brain organoids at FinalSpark.
I bring rigorously systematic and holistic strategies to overcome ageing as a disease and push neurotechnology’s boundaries. Fundamentally, I treat death as an engineering challenge to be solved and aspire to research better substrates for synthetic consciousness in the long run.
