Alan Mullenix, PhD | Technology and Design
With a background in optimization and the inner workings of complex systems, Alan provides a keen eye in finding what makes a process tick, and how to make it tick better. Alan's PhD focus centered around highly nonlinear PDE in the context of high population competitive dynamics. With a desire to optimize something more tangible, Alan turned to technology, successfully delivering cost cutting petabyte scale pipeline architectures and has developed patent-pending technology for geospatial anomaly filtering. Alan uses his experience from years of teaching to communicate intricate concepts to all audiences, allowing him to effectively champion plans and innovation to business stakeholders in the right language.
Alan maintains a deep love for educating and relishes tutoring opportunities, especially for adults looking to take on math or programming for the first time. He believes math and science are right-brained activities and equally enjoys his hobby roles of artist and musician.
Brian Pasi | Biotech
Brian brings nearly three decades of clinical laboratory science and leadership experience to Lucidity Sciences. As the head of the cellular immunology lab at one of the nation's leading reference laboratories, he oversaw the development and implementation of emerging medical device technologies. He is published in the fields of Clinical Chemistry, Immunology, and Clinical Pathology. He has experience successfully utilizing lean principles and value stream mapping tools to dramatically improve lab profitability. He is also an avid outdoorsman and mountaineer.
Richard Wellman, PhD | Machine Learning
Dr. Richard Wellman brings decades of experience in Machine Learning and the development of novel technologies to Lucidity Sciences. He was instrumental in the development of early AutoML technology, having developed patented technologies for automating predictive analytics as Chief Science Officer at PurePredictive. He has served as faculty and a visiting professor in the Mathematics and Computer Science departments of multiple universities, including Baylor University, Westminster University, and Colorado College. Prior to that, Richard spent several years developing educational software for various groups and institutions including the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Key Curriculum Press, and the Wordbook Encyclopedia. Richard has a Ph.D. from Utah State University and has published several papers in functional analysis and theoretical computer science.
