Come meet UC Berkeley Professor Michel Maharbiz at Joselita and enjoy a meal or just tapas.Prof. Maharbiz, was recently featured in Scientific American as the leader of one of “Three Brain Technologies to Watch in 2018.”   He’s in town to participate in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill.

Michel M. Maharbiz is a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on the extreme miniaturization of technology focused on building synthetic interfaces to cells and organisms. He is known as one of the co-inventors of "neural dust", an ultrasonic interface for vanishingly small implants in the body. His group is also known for developing the world’s first remotely radio-controlled cyborg beetles. This was named one of the top ten emerging technologies of 2009 by MIT’s Technology Review (TR10) and was in Time Magazine’s Top 50 Inventions of 2009.
