Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Connolly is a founder and principal computer scientist with over three decades of research and product experience spanning bioelectronics, robotics, AI, and computer vision. Based in San Jose, he co-founded Neurome to translate neuroengineering and electroceutical ideas into products while maintaining a leadership research role at SRI International's Computer Science Laboratory. His work uniquely bridges computational neuroscience, dynamical systems modeling, and applied security topics such as neurosecurity, reverse engineering, and steganography, reflecting a rare mix of wet‑lab–adjacent neurotech insight and deep software expertise. A PhD in Robotics and long tenure in R&D (from GE to MIT to SRI) underpin his ability to move from foundational theory—basal ganglia and vagus-CNS interactions or computing with chaotic systems—to pragmatic, auditable systems. Colleagues describe him as a polymathic thinker who pursues compositional inversion and symbolic control analysis with the same rigor he applies to building startups.
