Brian Turnquist is CTO of Minneapolis tech start-up, Boon Logic, and has worked in machine learning for the past twenty years developing numerous novel algorithms for automatically clustering signals in real-time. His Ph.D. is in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, was a tenured professor at Bethel University, and has long-standing joint projects with researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany), and University of Mannheim-Heidelberg (Germany) including additional collaborations with Harvard University, University of Nagoya (Japan), Hanyang University (Seoul), University of Oslo (Norway), University of Minnesota, Purdue Pharma Pharmaceutical, and Allergan Pharmaceutical. Turnquist was a visiting researcher at the University of Nürnberg (2004-2005) and at the University of Heidelberg (2011-2012) developing algorithms to detect and classify biological signals, control neural stimulators, and automatically classify ultrasonic acoustic signals in real-time. Turnquist has fifteen refereed publications in neuroscience and mathematics and is the author of the C++-based software package Dapsys which is in use by numerous laboratories worldwide.
