Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Hicks is a Senior Research Scientist and CTO based in Oslo with nine years of experience applying machine learning to healthcare, education, and forensic training. He leads interdisciplinary projects at Simula Research Laboratory and Innsikt.ai, building systems from self-supervised vision models and generative methods to production web platforms with Python, React, and AWS. His research spans endoscopy image analysis, ECG classification, and responsible use of large language models, and he has published in top-tier venues while supervising students across Norwegian universities. Steven blends academic rigor (a PhD in computer science) with product-focused engineering—shipping an ECG ML pipeline package and AI-driven child interview training tools. He is comfortable moving between grant writing, open-source contributions, and hands-on system design, and often pairs clinical collaborators’ needs with pragmatic ML solutions. A practical researcher, he favors semi-supervised and data-efficient methods that turn messy real-world datasets into deployable impact.
