Jie Yang

Ph.D.

I am a Research Professor at Westlake University, Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Engineering Research Center for Brain–Computer Interface Intelligent Chip Systems, and a co-founder of Neuralicorn. I am also a Senior Member of IEEE and an Associate Editor of Neuroelectronics. My current research focuses on high-channel-count brain–computer interface chips, brain-to-language decoding, neuromorphic computing chips, and closed-loop neuromodulation systems, with an emphasis on translating these technologies into practical applications.
