Top SchoolRichard Gerkin is a neuroscientist and neuroinformaticist with 13 years of experience translating basic olfactory science into technology and product as Head of Neuroscience at Osmo and a Full Research Professor at Arizona State University. He combines experimental electrophysiology, psychophysics, and dynamical-systems modeling—work that began in graduate and postdoctoral studies on synaptic physiology and ensemble olfactory-bulb recordings—to tackle the “olfactory code.” Richard has bridged academia and industry through roles with Google Brain’s olfaction team and maintains a quantitative, data-driven approach to smell science. He is known for accelerating translational pipelines in olfaction and for integrating computational tools with rigorous bench work, a rare blend that informs both research and product strategy.
