He is the president and co-founder of the [[Brain Preservation Foundation]] (BPF).<ref name="BPF">[https://www.brainpreservation.org/team/kenneth-hayworth/ Kenneth Hayworth]. brainpreservation.org</ref>

Hayworth received his PhD degree in neuroscience from the University of Southern California.<ref name="BPF" /> His doctoral thesis is named "Explicit Encoding of Spatial Relations in the Human Visual System: Evidence from Functional Neuroimaging" (2009).<ref name="Personal website">[https://geon.usc.edu/~ken/ Kenneth J. Hayworth, PhD]</ref> After graduating, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University in the laboratory of Jeff Lichtman.<ref name="Personal website" />

Currently, he is a Senior Scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus (JFRC) in Ashburn, Virginia.<ref name="BPF" /> According to the BPF website, JFRC is perhaps the leading research institution in the field of [[Connectome|connectomics]] in the United States.<ref name="BPF" /> At JFRC, Hayworth is currently researching ways to extend Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIBSEM) imaging of brain tissue to encompass much larger volumes than are currently possible.<ref name="BPF" /> He is a co-inventor of the Tape-to-SEM process for high-throughput volume imaging of neural circuits at the nanometer scale, and he designed and built several automated machines to implement this process.<ref name="BPF" />

He is a member of the [[UK Cryonics and Cryopreservation Research Network]].<ref name="About Us">[https://www.cryonics-research.org.uk/about-us.html About Us]. cryonics-research.org.uk</ref> He is a signatory of the [[Scientists' Open Letter on Cryonics]], having signed it on October 22, 2010.<ref>[https://www.biostasis.com/scientists-open-letter-on-cryonics/ SCIENTISTS’ OPEN LETTER ON CRYONICS]</ref>

Hayworth is a vocal advocate for [[mind uploading]].<ref name="BPF" /> In 2015, he said he wishes that all [[cryonics]] organizations would stop offering [[cryopreservation]] services until, at a minimum, they demonstrate in an animal model that their methods and procedures are effective at preserving ultrastructure across the entire brain.<ref>[https://www.brainpreservation.org/ken-hayworths-personal-response-to-mit-technology-review-article/ Ken Hayworth's Personal Response to MIT Technology Review Article].
