Researcher, inventor and CTO with expertise in digital health care, sleep, skin biophysics and skin care

Profile Summary

With training in chemical and biomolecular engineering, along with curiosity and experiences across a range of fields, Russ works at the interface between industry, academia, and start-ups to create new technologies that become commercial products. Russ creates tools to understand and manage the knowledge supply chain between these entities. Active in academic research, he has worked for a large multinational for over 15 years and he has been a co-founder three times. He is a prolific inventor with 20+ issued US patents and an active researcher with 35+ peer reviewed publications. Russ researches a diverse set of complex dynamic systems including colloidal systems, biophysical systems, human systems, and innovation networks. He has conceived and created a handful of AI healthcare technologies that take advantage of the deep expertise of academic researchers. With a cultivated ability to manage, analyze, model and discover connections between data, Russ finds the story within and helps to reveal what the data wants to tell, creating beautiful visualizations along the way.
