Summary
Zoë Tosi is a Research Software and Machine Learning lead with 11 years of experience at the intersection of neuroscience, ML, and high-performance scientific software engineering. Based in South San Francisco, she has built TB-scale EEG pipelines and GPU‑optimized neural network stacks that supported an FDA filing for seizure detection and developed novel multi-objective hyperparameter tools and synthetic EEG patents. Her background spans academic neural modeling and HPC neural architecture search to pragmatic product engineering—delivering large-scale preprocessing, caching, and database systems for clinical-grade wearables. Zoë combines deep domain knowledge of electrophysiology and biologically inspired computation with hands-on optimization skills (C++, Python, PyTorch, MPI) to turn experimental ideas into production-ready systems. An often-overlooked strength is her track record of accelerating legacy research code by orders of magnitude, enabling analyses and simulations previously impractical.
