Guy is a neuroscience PhD student at Stanford University, where he works with Professor Krishna Shenoy of the Stanford Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory (NPTL) and Professor Shaul Druckmann in the Department of Neurobiology. He previously studied mathematics and molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked in Professor Robert Knight's lab analyzing EEG and ECoG recordings.

Guy joined the BrainGate clinical trial team in 2019, where he works on algorithms for intracortical brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). His research focuses on translating basic science into high-performance BCI systems, leveraging unparalleled access to high spatiotemporal resolution signals from individual brain cells. This includes prototyping speech decoding systems, as well as building robust systems that can fare against changing neural signals, with the ultimate aim of helping move BCIs from the lab and into the clinic.

While born on the east coast, Guy has traded teams and embraced the mild California climate. He enjoys hiking around the Bay Area in his spare time.
