Sean Hill Email & Phone Number

Dr. Sean Hill is a neuroscientist, professor, founder, and CEO of Senscience, an AI startup dedicated to transforming science through the next generation of open data. Previously, he was the Inaugural Director of the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, Canada. He is Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Physiology at the University of Toronto, and Titular Professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland. Under Dr. Hill’s leadership, the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics applied state-of-the-art data science, machine learning, and multi-scale computational modeling to accelerate the diagnosis, prediction, and treatment of brain disorders.After completing his Ph.D. in computational neuroscience at the Université de Lausanne, Dr. Hill held postdoctoral positions at The Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla, California, and the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He then joined the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center as Project Manager for Computational Neuroscience on the Blue Brain Project. Dr. Hill served as a co-director of the Blue Brain Project in Geneva, Switzerland, leading the Neuroinformatics division. He spearheaded the Neuroinformatics strategy and platform development in the European Human Brain Project (2013-2016). He has also served as Executive Director (2011-2013) and Scientific Director (2014-2016) of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.Dr. Hill has extensive experience in designing and implementing knowledge graphs for large-scale multimodal research and clinical data management, integration, machine learning, and computational modeling infrastructure. He has also led major initiatives in building and simulating biophysically-detailed multiscale models of brain circuitry. His research explores the principles underlying the structure and dynamics of neocortical and thalamocortical circuitry across sleep and wakefulness in health and disease.#neuroscience #neuroinformatics #mentalhealth #artificialintelligence #personalizedmedicine #digitalhealth #knowledgegraph #OpenScience #FAIRdata #OpenData
