Careers

Co-founded Fathom (world record in multicore fiber and hyperspectral matrix multiplication with light). Moving data between chips at high-speed is very similar to what we need to do to efficiently capture the first whole human connectome at scale.  Co-founded Halcyon, which developed small mass-producible, high-speed electron microscopes for DNA sequencing and new DNA labels.

Solved one of the greatest problems of our time: how to archive the microscopic fine structure of the brain and body for long-term storage. It's also the first step in the process of uploading. Founded Nectome. AI at MIT.

Robert has helped scale the leading German medical education company from 40 to 500 employees and led operations at the fastest vaccine trial a start-up ever conducted.

Richie Kohman, former CSO at Switzerland's Wyss Center, led neurotechnology research funded by the MICrONS project. With a Chemistry PhD from UIUC and leadership at Harvard’s Wyss Institute, he has advanced innovations in synthetic biology and molecular mapping

Connor graduated in mathematical physics, co-founded a small hedge fund, and consulted on COVID response for governments spanning over a hundred million people.

Philip created the first emulation of the fruit fly brain; this work has been reviewed favorably and is currently under revision at Nature.

Viktor built a rodent VR setup from scratch and trained rats to play Doom; he was also first to map the vagus nerve on the single-fiber level.

Ali specializes in machine learning, with a focus on adversarial learning during his PhD and multimodal visual-language tasks in his postdoctoral research. Passionate about advancing learning systems, he continuously seeks innovative solutions in this dynamic field.
