Oliver Downs
Dr. Oliver "Olly" Downs is known for his leadership in applying abstract analytical ideas from mathematical, physical and statistical science to problems in the real world. He has an extensive background in blue skies research in algorithm design and development, quantum optimization, and state-of-the-art machine learning. Dr. Downs' 14 years experience has resulted in 18 US patents pending in the fields of Bayesian Prediction, Statistical Estimation, Outlier Detection, Real-Time GPS Data Processing and a granted patent in the field of Quantum Optimization algorithms.
As Chief Scientist for Atigeo, Olly is in charge of research, development and deployment efforts in the areas of Bayesian machine learning, predictive modeling and quantum optimization for predicting human behavior and delivering high quality content to users.
Prior to Atigeo, Olly was Chief Scientist at Mindset Media where he was responsible for the science, architecture and development of a web-based predictive analytics platform enabling ad-targeting to internet users based on inference of their psychographic dimensions rather than behavior. Before Mindset Media, he was Principal Scientist at INRIX, the first technology spin-out from Microsoft Research. At INRIX, Olly delivered a world-first in the provision of real-time traffic information using a nationwide network of GPS-enabled probe vehicles--named 2007 Breakthrough Technology of the Year by the Washington Software Alliance--and drove the design and architecture of INRIX' dynamic Bayesian predictive modeling platform for traffic conditions, revolutionizing the traffic information industry worldwide.
