Summary
Alexandre Tiard is a Director of Artificial Intelligence with nine years of experience building end-to-end perception systems for autonomous surgical robotics, currently leading AI at Horizon Surgical Systems from Santa Monica. He has deep hands-on expertise in medical imaging and computational pathology from a UCLA doctorate, and has driven production-ready models for ophthalmic surgery that include segmentation, detection, and regression of anatomical features. Alexandre bridges research and regulated product development—automating deployment with MLFlow and ROS, optimizing real-time inference with Numba, TensorRT and Triton, and authoring documentation to meet regulatory standards. His background spans academia and industry, from hyperspectral imaging and ICIP-published algorithms to an autonomous racing agent at Sony, revealing a rare mix of theoretical rigor and practical systems engineering. He also has experience drafting provisional patents, reflecting a focus on novel, deployable IP in surgical robotics.
