Victor Kash

I attained my Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from The Ohio State University. My current research interests are in neurotech and neuromodulation, with an extensive background in medical imaging, neurotechnology, and the development of medical devices and wearables. My journey through academia and the healthcare technology sector, spanning over two decades, has been driven by a dedication to bridging engineering and medicine, fostering advancements that enhance both patient care and higher education.

In both my teaching and research, I am supportive of diversity, equity and inclusion. I strive to make the environment safe and comfortable for all. In my research labs I taught and trained undergraduate, graduate and medical students. I have taught and mentored a very diverse range of students spanning many cultures, nationalities and STEM minorities. I actively participated in government funded STEM initiatives such as BIOSTAR and STREAMS which helped prepare undergraduates, from minority groups, for graduate school. I come from a diverse background and thus always encourage and support diversity and minorities whenever possible.

I personally believe that having both empathy and emotional intelligence are necessary to be a great teacher, mentor, advisor and leader, especially in higher education. I have had high student success rates as evident by student evaluations and testimonials. In part due to my efforts to focus on student learning outcomes and continuously evaluating my teaching practices.
