Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeonidas Tam is a managing partner and AI founder with a decade of experience applying deep learning and signal processing to real-world problems, currently leading Amicus.ai and serving as fractional CTO at Karmeq from the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale where his interdisciplinary work fused physics, hardware, and machine learning to push MRI beyond Nyquist limits, and later drove research and solution architecture at NVIDIA scaling deep learning infrastructure.
