Ernest E Roth Professor. Bio-Integrating Optoelectric Neural Interface & Cybernetics Lab @ University of Pittsburgh, Department of Bioengineering
Pittsburgh, PA
Joined October 2015
Grateful for this unexpected feature. I still have imposter syndrome days... I thought that was supposed to en be after tenure?
Check out this wonderful feature about Associate Professor Takashi Kozai's journey through both biology and engineering fields, written by @elainevitone.

Trump praises COVID & polio vaccines as "amazing," calls Florida's move to end student vaccine mandates a "tough stance." Urges caution on skipping shots that "pure and simple work." #Vaccines #Florida #PublicHealth

Understanding these eye movement changes helps design better therapies for kids after hemispherectomy, improving independence and reducing long-term healthcare costs (saving taxpayers money and improving quality of life). #NeuralEngineering

New Paper from Univ of Pittsburgh NExT: Kids with a hemispherectomy show uneven eye movements: slower toward the removed side, faster the opposite way, with quick “catch-up” saccades, regardless of which hemisphere was removed and not due to general vision or motor issues.

House & Senate reject Trump's ~40% NIH ($27.5B) & 57% NSF ($3.9B) cuts, backing $48-48.7B NIH, $7-9B NSF. 🇺🇸 wins: counters China’s $172B annual S&T surge (7,100 trials vs. US 6,000), boosts heartland jobs & drives medical breakthroughs. #AmericaFirst #NIH #NSF #Innovation

🚨🇺🇸 RED ALERT: Chinese gov’s dumping $47B+ into brain-computer interfaces to CRUSH US tech by 2030, while we’re stuck at $0.2B from DARPA/NIH/NSF! They’re stealing OUR jobs & security! DEMAND $20B/yr NOW to back Neuralink, USA Neurotech & WIN! #AmericaFirst #TechWar #MAGA

Patriots! NIH cuts kill cures for cancer, HIV, opioid research, hitting red states like hardest with lost job & lost cures for you kids. Longer, costly waits for care. Rural families pay the price. This ain't America First. it's hurting real Americans! Demand better! #NIHcuts

Golden fuses K-pop precision + Western pop structure. Like integrative scientists, hybrid talent drives breakthroughs. Reward synthesis, don’t punish it. #NIH #NSF #Innovation #Multidisciplinarity

If you think the troubles at NIH does not affect you, you just need to wait. Due to multi-year funding, NINDS will be able to fund 40% fewer grants next cycle...even if budget stays same. Yes, message from one of the highest levels. Talk to Congress, that's the only way now.

SCOTUS letting NIH pause $783M in grants screws taxpayers! $1.4B of OUR money already spent is wasted if stopped. Kills 🇺🇸 scientist & supplier jobs, lets China beat us in medical breakthroughs. This isn’t draining the swamp, it’s draining our wallets! #AmericaFirst

Trump's AI Action Plan pushes U.S. leadership, but cutting science funding (57% NSF, $18B NIH) threatens the AI we love; self-driving cars, ChatGPT, face recognition. Neuroscience fuels these tools! Let’s keep America #1 in AI. #MAGA #TechForAmerica
While the effects on AI of [science] cuts might not be obvious immediately, they threaten “the whole ecosystem that we have built around AI, which has been created by public support.” Yes. The US AI ecosystem grew and is supported by universities 🧪 https://t.co/oI85X4eLTY
