Portrait of Ali Neishabouri

I’m a data scientist and engineer who came to software through neuroscience. My PhD, at Imperial College London, asked how axons carry information under four hard physical constraints: time, noise, energy, and size. That question only yields to a mix of theory, simulation, and careful engineering, and I’ve worked much the same way ever since.

I’m currently a senior software engineer at Dataiku. Before that I led data science at ActiGraph, building heuristic, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms that turn raw sensor data into digital health measures. Earlier I headed data science for Biogen’s Konectom platform, developing smartphone-based measures to monitor neurological disease.

Before moving into digital health I co-founded SPiKE.AI, and worked at Mipsology on quantization and CNN acceleration. I also held post-doctoral research posts at Imperial College London and UCL.
