Senior🎓
Top SchoolSakyasingha Dasgupta is the founder and CEO of Edgecortix, a deep-tech fabless startup building runtime-reconfigurable ML hardware IP and a co-designed compiler to bring sustainable AI to distributed edge devices. With a decade-plus research pedigree spanning IBM Research, RIKEN, Max Planck and academia, he blends breakthroughs in brain-inspired computing, computer vision and reinforcement learning with hands-on productization at startups in Japan, Singapore and the US. He holds a Dr. rer. nat. in complex systems and an MSc in AI from Edinburgh, and studied design-driven entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan, reflecting a rare mix of theoretical depth and business-focused design thinking. An inventor on multiple patents and former senior research staff at IBM, he has moved research artifacts into deployable systems (including work on Dynamic Boltzmann Machines) and now focuses on hardware–software co-design for edge ML. Based in Tokyo, he is hiring and actively scales teams that translate cutting-edge AI research into silicon and compilers for real-world applications.
