Jasmine Kwasa received an undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis (US), a master’s degree from Boston University (US), and a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, US), all in biomedical engineering.
Kwasa’s research focuses on developing inclusive medical technologies, such as the Sevo EEG electrode adapter, to reduce phenotypic bias in brain sensing devices, to increase accessibility to underrepresented populations, and to improve data accuracy for all. She is the grand prize winner of the NOMIS & Science Award for her essay “Untangling bias: Racial and phenotypic bias in neuroimaging methods must be addressed.”
