Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMilo Sobral is a research scientist based in Montreal with 8 years of experience building and deploying deep learning systems at the intersection of neuroscience and edge computing. He led development of Portiloop, achieving sub-250ms closed-loop EEG stimulation on edge hardware, and created subject-adaptive algorithms that improved sleep-spindle detection in multi-lab studies. Milo combines strong engineering chops—from C/C++ and Unity tools for large-scale annotation to PyTorch pipelines for online and on-device inference—with academic rigor from McGill and Polytechnique Montréal. Currently at Mila working on neuro foundational models, he has a track record of turning experimental AI research into robust tools used by dozens of human-subject experiments. Notably, his work bridges low-latency embedded systems and adaptive deep learning, enabling real-world neuroscience applications.
