Amy Daali, Ph.D. is an accomplished AI expert with a deep background in AI and Engineering. She is a 2x founder, and passionate advocate for gender equity in tech. She holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Texas. With over a decade of experience in engineering and biomedical imaging, she has deep technical skills in deep learning, computer vision, and advanced image and signal processing.
Amy is the Founder & CEO of Lucea AI, an AI training company that equips organizations with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage the power of artificial intelligence in their business operations. She is also the Founder of Moonshot 4 HER, an initiative to inspire and empower 1 Million women in tech globally to excel in the technology industry.
Amy has been a featured speaker at various conferences and events, including the Data Science Salon Conference, Women in Data Science Conference, IEEE Smart City Summit. She has also been a guest speaker on various podcasts and events, discussing topics such as data science, analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
During her time at USAA she developed innovative Deep Learning Models using Keras and GPU-enabled Tensorflow on extensive imagery datasets. She also contributed to the design of a patent Titled “Predictive mapping for routing telephone calls”, this technology uses AI to route calls based on sentiment, experience, and performance scores related to the conversation topic.
Prior to USAA, Amy held the position of Engineering Director at Invictus Medical. She led the development and implementation of a real-time noise reduction technology known as Filtered-x Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm, to enhance the acoustic environment of neonatal incubators and improve the well-being of premature infants.
Before joining Invictus Medical, Amy was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSCSA). There, she developed mathematical models to analyze different biomedical Imaging modalities to predict cancer progression in glioblastoma patients.
When not working, she can be found sipping on a cup of coffee ☕, indulging in some chocolate, or exploring a new corner of the world 🌍 ! Amy is always up for a good brainstorming session (especially if it involves coffee or chocolate 🙂
