Jason Hou

Jason Hou earned his B.S. in Bioengineering and minor in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from UC Berkeley. There he developed microfabrication techniques for building high-density carbon fiber neural recording arrays at the Maharbiz Lab. After graduating, Jason continued his work in neurotechnology at Neuralink where he designed, built, and tested various parts of the neural implant hardware including its biostable thin-film electrodes and stimulation materials, hermetic packaging strategies, and wireless charging system.

His research interests lie in the design of chronically implantable wireless hardware systems, which seamlessly monitor and modulate biomarkers of human health and disease. He is passionate about electronics design, materials, and processing techniques needed for the fabrication and manufacturing of cutting-edge neural and soft-tissue interface devices. In the long term, he envisions these devices to cybernetically enrich the experiences of all humans.
