I make superhumans.

Cognitive Neuroscientist and MBA Faculty at UC Berkeley

“The way we work and live today is fundamentally opposed to how our brains and our bodies work best.”

I believe that the path to becoming superhuman first begins with understanding and embracing all the ways in which we are, in fact, human.

Through my research and teaching, I aspire to make neuroscience accessible and actionable to millions of humans looking for better ways of living and working that are more in line with the realities of how their brains work.
