Alexandra Pinto
My name is Alexandra Pinto and I am the founder of Hoursec, we are doing Energy Efficient AI-On-Chip for edge devices. I studied Physics and Neural System and Computation at ETH Zurich. Our Passion and inspiration on Neuroscience and it’s interceptions with Technology and Data Science! allow us to see the brain as a matrix or operator which performs a transformation, that takes all external signals and transforms them in a world were there are only three dimensions for space, one for time, but N-dimensions for sound, flavor, colors etc. In some strange way, our brains build a space that helps us make sense of the world and how we interact with it. This inspiration took us into the creation of a brain inspired chip with low energy and high throughput for AI workloads and we are excited to take our technology further into commercialization
Testimonial
Since we are an early stage startup but with a technology with the potential to step-change the energy consumption of current AI-workloads, this meeting is an opportunity to get exposed and learn from the current big players in the market. We will use this opportunity to give our perspective on topics of energy benchmarks and sustainability.
Altaf Khan
Altaf Khan is the CEO of Infxl LLC, Colleyville, TX. Infxl develops ultra-low-power and ultra-low-latency Machine Learning (ML) solutions for FPGA, DSP, and MCU. Altaf started his career as an accelerometer system engineer in Silicon Valley, but simplifying neural nets has been his passion over the last three decades. He has developed fast ML for real-time applications, low-cost ML for battery-operated IoT endpoints, and small-footprint ML for a variety of hardware. He has developed intelligent solutions for a major US airline and a well-known auto parts supplier. He has been the CTO of a brokerage company, CEO of two startups, consultant for software process improvement, and an industrial controls engineer. Altaf received his BSEE from Wilkes College, MSEE for the University of Pennsylvania, and PhD from the University of Warwick.
