Jason Dou is a computer scientist and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building AI-driven solutions and launching ventures, currently founding Marbella AI to close the AI literacy gap while incubated at Harvard Innovation Labs. He holds a PhD in Machine Learning from the University of Pittsburgh and has translated academic research into healthcare and dental AI applications during roles at UPMC, Mass General Brigham, and Overjet. As a postdoc trainee at Harvard focusing on AI and business, he blends deep technical expertise with operational leadership—most recently as Director of Operations for a cross-border B2B startup.
