Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series

The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Rebecca Gerth, Research Sales Engineer at Ripple Neuro, will present: "Going to the Dark Side - Choosing Industry".

February 3rd at 12:30 pm in ENGR 326

Over the last two decades, academic neuroscientists and engineers have dedicated their lives to developing brain-computer interfaces for the restoration of independence in amputees and paralyzed individuals. Ripple Neuro creates neural interfaces and medical devices to advance research and improve the lives of underserved patient populations. Engineers at Ripple work with academic partners, industry leaders, and clinical experts to solve the problems that still limit the translation of brain-computer interfaces. This presentation will highlight one engineer’s decision to transition to industry and the varied opportunities working for a biotech company provides.

A meet and greet with Dr. Gerth will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 326.
