About
Stefan Lütschg was born in Santiago, Chile. They moved to the United States when they were 6 years old and have always been a sci-fi nerd. Stefan first became interested in the idea of BCIs as a teenager through video games depicting the ethical and societal challenges of human augmentation with neural implants and prosthetics, namely the Deus Ex franchise. He would be exposed to Brain Computer Interfaces during his time at Boston University, learning about the research done at the BrainGate consortium based in Brown University.
They graduated from the Boston University College of Engineering in May 2022 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. After BU, Stefan also received his Master of Science Degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2024 at Brown University, studying at the BrainGate consortium under the guidance of Dr. John Simeral. At Brown, Stefan worked on BCIs, writing a thesis on a novel application for BCI users, especially those who are paralyzed due to spinal cord injury or ALS, to communicate again using just their imagined finger movements.
Currently Stefan is working as a Medical Device Software Test Engineer at a Medical Device company in Boston, MA, and is seeking experiences in the industry.
