Jeffrey Herron earned his Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2009. After three years working in the Microsoft Research Hardware Prototyping Lab, he returned to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington within the BioRobotics Lab. Following the completion of his PhD thesis in 2016, Jeff moved to Minnesota to work within the Medtronic Restorative Therapies Research and Core Technology team. There he spent three years developing new human-use implantable research tools for improving the treatment of neurological disorders through the application of closed-loop system integration. In 2019, Jeff returned to UW as a research professor in the Department of Neurological Surgery, and rejoined the BRL to continue his research into developing new research tools and systems to explore the applications of bi-directional neural interfaces to enable or improve the treatment of neurological diseases, disorders, and injuries. More at Jeff’s personal UW page
