Work at the intersection of brains, data, and decisions.
I’m an Associate Professor at CCNY working at the intersection of neural engineering and machine learning. I develop tools to modulate brain activity with ultrasound and to extract causal relationships from neural recordings.
I also lead machine learning efforts at Optios, helping to turn advances in AI into scalable neurotechnology and brain–computer interfaces for real-world performance gains.

About
Brief bio.
I was born in Gdańsk, Poland, in the same apartment complex as Lech Wałęsa. My father, a mechanical engineer, moved our family to Canada in the late 1980s on a Canadian government post-doctoral fellowship—an early lesson in how opportunity, engineering, and public support for research can reshape a life. I grew up in Canada and completed my graduate training in electrical engineering, drawn to quantitative models and signal-driven ways of understanding complex systems. Two decades after my family’s move, that same fellowship program brought me to the United States, where I shifted my focus toward the brain—bringing an engineer’s instincts for measurement, inference, and building tools that make hard problems tractable. Today I’m a tenured Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York, and I live in Montclair, New Jersey with my wife and two daughters.
