Summary
Giovanni Santostasi is a neuroscientist and scientific leader with eight years of industry experience who currently serves as Chief Scientific Officer at Deepwave Technologies and Fountain Health Technologies while holding research roles at Northwestern and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His work bridges computational neuroscience, neural networks and biophysics to probe consciousness, intelligence and how sleep consolidates memory, translating basic science into applied brain–computer and health technologies. With a PhD in Physics and an academic background that includes teaching and research in astrophysics and gravitational waves, he brings rigorous quantitative modeling and cross-disciplinary insight to neurotechnology development. Giovanni is as comfortable designing experiments and models as he is steering R&D strategy, and he often integrates circadian and sleep science perspectives that are overlooked in mainstream AI and neural modeling. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, he combines academic depth with startup agility to move hypotheses from lab to product.
