Tomasz Rutkowski
Neurotechnology researcher working on brain-computer interface (BCI) applications to wellbeing and neuroarts.
Dr. Tomasz M. Rutkowski's career is marked by a passion for understanding the brain and developing cutting-edge technologies to improve human health. After earning his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from Wroclaw University of Technology, he held research positions at Kyoto University and RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan. His drive to translate research into practical applications led him to a role at an AI startup in Tokyo. Currently, he is a research scientist at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) and a research fellow at The University of Tokyo and Nicolaus Copernicus University. Dr. Rutkowski's research focuses on brain-computer interfacing (BCI), computational modeling of evoked brain processes and awareness, and the application of AI for elucidating dementia biomarkers. His achievements include The BCI Annual Research Award in 2014 and a First Degree Scientific Award from Nicolaus Copernicus University in 2024. He is also dedicated to promoting diversity in science as a jury member for the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Prize for Young Female Scientists in Japan. A senior IEEE member, his work is detailed at http://tomek.bci-lab.info/.
