Jonathan Viventi is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. Dr. Viventi earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania and his M.Eng. and B.S.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University. Dr. Viventi’s research applies innovations in flexible electronics, low power analog circuits, and machine learning to create new technology for interfacing with the brain at a much finer scale and with broader coverage than previously possible. He creates new tools for neuroscience research and technology to diagnose and treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy. Using these tools, he collaborates with neuroscientists and clinicians to explore the fundamental properties of brain networks in both health and disease. His research program works closely with industry, including nine issued patents and several licensing agreements.
His work has been featured as cover articles in Science Translational Medicine and Nature Materials, and has also appeared in Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, the Journal of Neurophysiology, and Brain. Dr. Viventi was selected for the 2014 MIT Technology Review Top 35 Innovators Under 35 list, the 2014 Popular Science Brilliant 10 list, and the NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award (CAREER).
