Brian Cohn Ph.D.

Principal ML Solutions Architect at phData

I’m a research biologist who translates machine learning research into operational systems. I’m currently supporting the GTM of phData’s Forward Deployed Engineering program, working directly with teams to deploy and operationalize ML solutions in the life sciences.

Current Work

Equine veterinary service automation + horse identification ML

Building ML systems for veterinary service dispatch and photo-based horse identification. Turning domain-specific problems into automated workflows.

Selected Past Work

• The GenAI ML powering AstraZeneca’s Medical Virtual Assistant (AIMI)
• A robot that learns to walk on its own using tendons (Nature Machine Intelligence)
• Neurophysiological signal processing algorithms for muscle analysis
• VR game mechanics that adapt difficulty based on player ability

Let’s work together

If you’re working on a challenging ML or AI problem — whether it’s research, deployment, operationalization, or scaling — I’d be happy to help!
