About Me

Shashi Sathyanarayana
Shashi Sathyanarayana Ph.D, the founder of Numeric Insight, Inc has spent more than a decade accumulating expertise in scientific programming, algorithm development and teaching.

At Boston Scientific Corp, he was responsible for the creation of algorithms that power the company’s imaging devices employed to assist detection of atherosclerosis. He is a named inventor on about a dozen patents in pattern recognition and ultrasound imaging. His interest in medical imaging began when he was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Richard Gordon, one of the pioneers of Computed Tomography algorithms. It was further shaped by a research fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation where he contributed to advancements in echocardiography at the world-renowned Heart Center.

Shashi’s commitment to judiciously apply common sense and advanced analysis to improve products and processes earned him the Six Sigma Black Belt certification by the American Society for Quality.

Although frequently called upon to work on complex algorithms, he believes in the value of keeping it basic; he recognizes the universal customer need for intuitiveness and simplicity in a product.
