Simas Glinskis

Simas Glinskis has a diverse and extensive work experience. Simas started their career in 2009 as a Research Associate at Dr Bruce White, Binghamton University, where they focused on investigating techniques to obtain Graphene. In 2011, they worked as a Researcher at Dr Cyrus F. Hirjibehedin, University College London.

Simas then pursued their education at Columbia University, where they held various roles within the Columbia University Society of Physics Students, including President and Research Associate. As President, they created opportunities for undergraduate members to engage with professors and improve scientific outreach to high school students. As a Research Associate, they optimized the sample yield of semiconducting devices and conducted experiments on superconductivity.

In 2016, Simas joined the Laboratory in New Product and Strategy Development, at the Booth School of Business. Here, they worked as a Student and was contracted by Microsoft to develop predictive analytical tools on their cloud service Azure. Simas also developed a framework for adaptive user interfaces based on client behavior and evaluated cloud-based startups and technologies in the Industrials sector.

In 2017, Simas worked as the Lead Machine Learning/Data Scientist at Claire AI, a Forbes 30 under 30 company. Simas built support vector machine models to predict quarterly earnings in the fashion sector, helping industry shoppers manage inventory efficiently.

Simas then pursued a graduate degree at the University of Chicago, where they worked as a Graduate Student from 2012 to 2019. Their research focused on fabricating GaAs Fabry-Perot quantum interferometers and developing data analysis techniques using Python and SciPy. Simas provided evidence of the first experimental demonstration of non-Abelian statistics.

In 2020, Simas joined Insight Data Science as an Artificial Intelligence Fellow, where they gained further experience in AI. Simas then moved to Covera Health, first as a Data Scientist specializing in machine learning from 2020 to 2021, then as an Artificial Intelligence Scientist from 2021 to 2022. Currently, they hold the position of Senior AI Scientist at Covera Health.

Simas Glinskis completed their Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Physics at Columbia University from 2009 to 2012. Following this, they pursued further education at the University of Chicago, where they earned their Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Physics from 2012 to 2019.
