Dr. Deka will share how her company is building high-performance biomagnetic sensors for detecting muscle and brain activity, with the goal of building commercially viable non-invasive brain-computer interfaces. \nWhile the FoundHer Stories series is focused on supporting women innovators and entrepreneurs, all are welcome to register.\nPlease register in advance.\nOUR SPEAKER\nNishita Deka, Ph.D., is the co-founder and CEO of Sonera. She co-founded Sonera to commercialize a novel magnetic sensing technology for human-computer interfaces, with applications ranging from next-generation interaction modalities for personal computing to advanced healthcare monitoring and diagnostic tools. Nishita earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. She has a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California. At Berkeley, she focused on the design and fabrication of nanoscale devices for MEMS and sensing applications.\nhttps://northwestern.zoom.us/j/98353333202\n\nPiP URL: https://planitpurple.northwestern.edu/event/609011 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR ORGANIZER:Innovation and New Ventures Office
