Virtualitics CEO and leadership

Michael Amori is a CEO, Co-founder at Virtualitics and is based in Greater Los Angeles Area. He has worked as Researcher at Caltech, Managing Director at Deutsche Bank, and Director at CREDIT SUISSE GROUP AG. Michael studied at Columbia University, Harvard Business School, and Caltech.

Machine Learning, Data Visualization and VR expert, Ciro Donalek has successfully applied AI techniques to many different fields, co-authoring over a hundred scientific and technical publications (published on Nature, Neural Networks, IEEE Big Data, Bioinformatics, etc). He has also pioneered some of the uses of Virtual Reality for immersive data visualization and machine learning, leading the iViz project at Caltech (patent on "Systems and Methods for Data Visualization Using Three-Dimensional Display"). During his career as a data scientist Dr. Donalek has been awarded different research fellowships, served as reviewer for numerous major scientific journals, and has given many invited talks on Machine Learning, Virtual Reality and Data Visualization.He also has a Minor Planet named after him as a reward for the work done in the automatic classification of celestial bodies, and has been part of the group that built the Big Picture, the single largest real astronomical image in the world (152-feet-wide, 20-feet-tall), currently installed at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

Dr. Scott Davidoff has over 25 years experience turning open-ended and ambiguous problems into novel product concepts all the way through to shippable products. As a practitioner, Dr. Davidoff leads the design and development of the software currently used to command NASA spacecraft, and to interrogate planetary scale datasets. He has also led the design and development of consumer products for companies that include AT&T, Concur + Morgan Stanley.As a researcher, he leads the teams that imagine how Augmented and Virtual Reality, and Data Visualization can be used to command tomorrow's space missions, and has created several of the lightweight prototyping methods that are now practiced at companies like Google and Microsoft, and part of the design curriculum at universities like Carnegie Mellon. Dr. Davidoff serves on program committees for organizations that include the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and ACM's Computer Human-Interaction (CHI).

S. George Djorgovski is a Professor and the Executive Officer (Dept. Chair) for Astronomy at Caltech, as well as the founding Director of the Center for Data-Driven Discovery. He was one of the founders of the Virtual Observatory framework, which is now a global data grid of astronomy, as well as of the emerging field of Astroinformatics. He was the Director of the Meta-Institute for Computational Astrophysics, the first professional scientific organization based in virtual worlds, and he pioneered some of the uses of virtual reality as a scientific and scholarly platform. He and his group also pioneered uses of machine learning and other advanced data analytics methods in astronomy and other fields. Prof. Djorgovski is the author or a coauthor of several hundred scientific and technical publications, and a recipient of numerous professional honors and recognitions, including the Presidential Young Investigator, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellow, a Fellow of the American Association for Advancement of Science, a Harvard Junior Fellow, a NASA Group Achievement Award, several Distinguished Visiting Professorships, etc.
