Early life and education
editKuzum was born in Ankara, Turkey.[3] She became interested in science as a child.[4] She attended Bilkent University[5][6] and was a doctoral researcher at Stanford University.[7] Her doctoral research considered MOSFETs for CMOS applications. During her doctorate, she completed an internship at Intel.[citation needed] In 2011, she joined the University of Pennsylvania as a postdoctoral researcher,[8] working in the Center for Neuroengineering and Therapeutics on the development of transparent neural electrodes.[8]
Research and career
editKuzum joined the University of California, San Diego in 2015.[1] Her research focuses on innovative computation strategies based on neural networks.[4] She combines molecular neural sensors with machine learning to better understand neural processes.[9] She has built self-assembled structures from stem cells embedded with controllable neural sensors to mimic the embryonic human brain.[1]
