Christian Wentz

[Web: N/A]  [Email: N/A]  [Phone: N/A]

Christian, during his time in the lab as a UROP and M.Eng. student, worked on VLSI power management chips and wireless telemetry solutions for implantable neural prosthetics. He then helped launch multiple startup companies in the field of neuroengineering. He is now working on next-generation neural interfaces.

Projects

  • Optogenetic hardware and systems for control of neural circuits and biological functions with light

  • Recording and data analysis technologies for observing and analyzing neural circuit dynamics
