Description

As the pace of technology continues to accelerate, we are starting to see somewhat of a convergence between the human experience and the evolution of computing. This episode focuses on the emerging Bio-Computing Revolution and the technologies that are powering the future, with a particular focus on Bio-Integrated technologies and devices.

This episode’s guest is Dr. Aadeel Akhtar, CEO and Founder of PSYONIC, a company redefining what it means to be human through biointegrated technologies. Their first product, the Ability Hand, is an advanced bionic hand that is accessible for people with upper limb amputations.  The PSYONIC mission is not just about what our users can achieve, it’s beyond that. It’s strongly tied to creating an affordable and accessible prosthesis with unique bionic abilities—that surpass human capabilities—providing individuals with superior technology and redefining performance. During his work with PSYONIC, Aadeel has been featured in MIT's 35 Innovators Under 35.

Aadeel has a PhD in Neuroscience and Masters of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign alongside a MS in Computer Science and BS in Biology from Loyola University Chicago.
