Brian Litt, professor of neurology, neurosurgery and bioengineering at Penn, was honored with the American Epilepsy Society (AES) Research Recognition Award for Clinical Science last December at the Society’s 69th annual meeting in Philadelphia. The $10,000 Research Recognition Awards are given annually to active scientists and clinicians working in all aspects of epilepsy research.

Dr. Litt is a pioneer in the emerging field of neuroengineering and is praised for his research focusing on hardware development, machine learning and high-speed computing for implantable devices. He is also well known for his laboratory work translating basic science into new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.
