Jeremy is a Research Scientist at Neurala and is currently working to integrate deep learning technologies into Neurala's autonomous intelligence software. Before joining Neurala, Jeremy completed his Ph.D. studying and applying neuromorphic modeling techniques for UAS collision avoidance tasks, pioneering deep learning techniques that can take advantage of human-inspired optical flow methods to avoid objects with and without explicit identification. After applying these techniques on NASA UAV systems as part of a joint Boston University - NASA venture, Jeremy joined Neurala in order to help create a unified perception and navigation framework for mobile robots and drones utilizing advancements from the rapidly expanding deep learning space.

Abhishek is a deep learning engineer at Neurala and specializes in research and development of deep learning models for range of applications. He finished his MS in Computer Engineering from Boston University in 2017. He spent the summer of 2016 creating the working prototype of Harman International’s first AI speaker that is in production as of today. Abhishek has spoken at University of Pennsylvania on “Deep learning on compute-constrained environments”. He enjoys doing dance and photography in his leisure time. You can see some of his photography work on Instagram at abs_lensbook.
