Dr. Ewelina Kurtys is developing computers made of real neurons
In this episode I’m interviewing a scientist who is trying to revolutionize computing by replacing power hungry silicon gates with highly efficient biological neurons. For a present-day silicon-based computer to approach the processing power of a human brain would take MegaWatts of power—we are seeing some of these inefficiencies looking at AI systems that require massive amounts of energy to run. A human brain can do the same thing on less than 20 Watts. My guest today is a scientist who is working on the interface between brain and machine.
Dr. Ewelina Kurtys is an entrepreneur with a PhD in neuroscience. After academia, she transitioned into business development and technology commercialization, advising tech companies on sales, partnerships, and market strategy. She founded Ekai Ltd to support innovation and scale in science-driven companies. Her work spans advisory roles, go-to-market planning, and translating complex R&D into real-world impact. She also speaks publicly on innovation, neuroscience, and the intersection of science and entrepreneurship.
