Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaphael Norman-tenazas is a Senior Research Engineer based in Baltimore with a decade of experience building bio- and neuro-inspired robotics and intelligent systems. He has led principal-investigator-level research at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, delivering applied solutions such as avian-inspired vision, fruit-fly continual learning, sensor fusion, and swarm AI testbeds. Proficient in Python and C++, he bridges experimentation and production software to rapidly translate biological insights into robust algorithms and robotic platforms. His background in robotics (M.S.) and computer engineering underpins a pragmatic approach to both algorithm design and HPC-aware system integration. Colleagues rely on him for combining hands-on coding with creative biologically grounded ideas that push adaptive autonomy forward. Notably, his earlier neuroimaging and primate-face processing work gives him a rare cross-disciplinary fluency between neuroscience data analysis and embodied AI.
