Jasmine Kwasa, Ph.D.
I’m a technologist, researcher, ethicist, and educator on a mission to de-bias medical technologies. I currently work as a research fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, affiliated with the Neuroscience Institute and Biomedical Engineering. In the lab of Dr. Pulkit Grover, I study cutting-edge brain stimulation techniques for chronic pain.
I am actively establishing an independent research program and consultancy focused on equitable innovation and user experience design for emerging sensing and stimulation technologies, including wearables and medical devices.
I believe that biomedical science and social science should be close friends.
Technology
As Chief Technology Officer of Precision Neuroscopics, Inc., I lead innovation, strategy, and R&D for a suite of accessible hardware solutions for brain sensing.
At Carnegie Mellon University, I study EEG correlates of auditory attention and measures of signal quality to help us better understand neurological and psychiatric disorders.
In collaboration with researchers at Harvard Medcial School, I write about the the ethical, legal, social, and existential implications of emerging neurotechnologies in medical and research settings.
Education and Advocacy
Creating accessible knowledge is my passion. I’m a STEM writing consultant for all levels. I mentor and champion underrepresented students pursuing biomedicine, engineering, and neuroscience.
