Dr. Christian Storm is one of the founding members of iParadigms and has served as iParadigms Chief Technology Officer (CTO) since the inception of the company in 1994. Dr. Storm came to iParadigms as a graduate student in Biophysics at the University of California, Berkeley. He has focused on the creation of novel similarity search algorithms, architecting internet crawler technology, and search systems which span heterogeneous databases.
Dr. Storm received his doctorate in Biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley. His work at Berkeley began with analyzing the stability of biologically inspired pattern recognition systems, which utilize nonlinear dynamics as their information-processing medium. From this research he developed a nonlinear systems identification methodology that can track nonlinear switching events in near real time. He authored a paper ("Detection and Classification of Nonlinear Switching Events," Phys Rev E Vol. 66, 2002) on the application of this methodology to breaking hyperchaotic key shifting codes used in secure communications. Using this methodology he also demonstrated that epileptic seizures can be anticipated in advance of seizure onset by 15 or more minutes in a large fraction of seizures. Prior to his doctoral work at Berkeley he was a member of the weather-sensing group at MIT Lincoln Labs. |
