Early life and education

Kuzum 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

Kuzum 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]
