Connor Glass is a medical doctor, human-machine interfacing researcher, and the CEO of Phantom Neuro. He received his MD at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and completed a research fellowship in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Johns Hopkins where he studied neuromuscular microsurgery for neuropathic pain control and intuitive machine control. He has multiple academic publications on nerve injury and neuromuscular surgery and co-authored a chapter on clinical translation of neurotechnology in the latest edition of the Handbook of Neuroengineering. Based on his research, Connor founded Phantom Neuro with the mission of enabling lifelike control of robotic prosthetic limbs and exoskeletons using a minimally invasive muscle-machine interface. This system harnesses novel implantable sensors and artificial intelligence to wirelessly convert EMG signals into movement of robotic systems in real time. His company has raised nearly $10M in seed funding and is backed by institutional investors like Tim Draper, Breakout Ventures, and Time BioVentures. Phantom has strategic partnerships with renowned R&D firms like the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and Blackrock Neurotech. These combined efforts are bringing together recent advancements in surgery, artificial intelligence, implantable hardware, and biotechnology to merge the human body with robotics for the recreation and augmentation of limb function. Through his work, Connor hopes to improve the lives of the countless individuals suffering from limb injuries and functional disability.
