Rocky Nevin

Rocky Nevin earned his Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of California at Berkeley exploring the connectivity and structure of sensory neurons and identifiable interneurons in complex behavior. He worked at IBM's Palo Alto Scientific Center, and later headed the Computer Integrated Manufacturing group at MicroUnity Systems Engineering, where he wrote the visualization and control software for its $100 million wafer fabrication plant. Using his thesis work as inspiration, he invented a new approach to computing and network modeling, one that more closely mimics human-like inferencing abilities to derive answers from a fusion of data sets.
