Davy Deng
Davy is an neuroscientist and neuro-engineer trained at Harvard medical school and MIT. His mission is to develop foundational technologies to enable whole brain emulation (colloquially known as mind-uploading) within this century. Currently he is developing an integrative experimental pipeline that maps structure to function in the nervous system with nanoscale spatial resolution and millisecond temporal resolution. Previously he studied chemistry, genetics and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and computational biology at Harvard University.
