Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOmar Costilla-reyes is a research-driven technology leader with 11 years of experience at the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and digital health, now directing research at Equ AI Lab while serving as CEO of Equ Healthcare to build a privacy-first health operating system. He has deep academic roots from MIT and Manchester—spanning postdoctoral fellowships in neuroscience and biomedical engineering to leading CSAIL research on neurosymbolic program understanding—and translates that work into product and policy impact. Omar blends hands-on scientific rigor with organizational leadership, having managed large NSF-funded projects, led the AI Latin American SumMIT, and advised hemispheric science and technology strategy at the OAS. His background in sensors, signal processing, and real-world systems (from pipeline inspection to telecom integration) gives him a rare ability to move innovations from lab prototypes to deployed health technology. Based in Cambridge, MA, he is as comfortable publishing and running labs as he is shaping product roadmaps and multilateral tech policy. An understated strength is his track record convening diverse stakeholders—academia, industry, and government—to operationalize responsible, data-driven health solutions.
