Kam Firouzi, Ph.D.

Sensing Systems · AI Platforms · Neurotechnology

I build systems that sense, represent, reason, and act in real time — connecting intelligence to biology and the physical world.

My work sits at the boundary of sensing, AI systems, and neurotechnology, focused on closed-loop platforms that learn from interaction and adapt under uncertainty.

What I work on

I build platforms that interface with humans and operate under real-world constraints — systems that run in closed loop, learn from interaction, and adapt in real time under uncertainty.

My long-horizon bet is on neurotechnology and human–AI interfaces: systems that can interface with biology, represent complex signals, and operate in closed-loop with humans — where new abstractions across hardware, software, and learning unlock step-changes in capability.
