Summary
Aziz Kocanaogullari is a manager of machine learning with eight years of experience building ML systems that improve human health, blending hands-on research and product-focused leadership. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and moved from postdoctoral work in radiology and signal processing at Harvard/Boston Children’s Hospital into industry research and now management at Analog Devices. His technical strengths span signal processing, active learning, and Bayesian/sample-efficient methods—skills he applied to brain–computer interface frameworks like BciPy and SLAM-related deep feature matching during MERL internships. Aziz is comfortable writing math and production code daily, bridging theory and deployment to shave sample requirements and improve inference robustness. He brings a rare combination of academic rigor, practical sensor/array signal expertise, and leadership in translating research prototypes into scalable ML systems for healthcare and embedded applications.
