Yoan Sallami is a PhD-trained AI and robotics founder with over a decade of experience at the intersection of cognitive science, machine learning, and human-robot interaction. As President and co-founder of SynaLinks, he leads development of an open-source framework that composes memory, symbolic logic, and learning into modular, interpretable AI agents used by startups and Fortune 500 teams. His background includes postdoctoral work on socio-technical smart grid simulation and research on developmental-psychology-inspired models for joint human-robot action, giving him a rare blend of theoretical rigor and production-focused engineering. Yoan favors data- and behavior-first design, practical neuro-symbolic reasoning, and tools that scale from research prototypes to production orchestration. Based in Toulouse, he actively collaborates with ML researchers worldwide and sustains an open-science approach to building AI systems that reason and act, not just reply to prompts.
