AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CrowdPoint
Technologies, Inc. (CrowdPoint), a Blockchain Ecosystem and
Exchange platform, named Dr. Wolf
Kohn, Ph.D. as its Chief Scientist to head AI and
optimization initiatives for its nextgen blockchain powering an
eleven-sector public-private Blockchain Ecosystem Exchange (BEX)
strategy.
"I am elated to be working with Dr. Kohn again," said
Sean Brehm, Chairman & CEO of
CrowdPoint. "Dr. Kohn and I wrote a paper in 2015 about analytic
tomographs and the potential for optimization on networks. To have
the opportunity to work with him on applying these concepts on the
blockchain has me excited to get up and work each day."
Dr. Kohn focuses his work and research on extending hybrid
systems to quantum control and rule-based multi-criteria
optimization and inferencing.
Dr. Kohn joins CrowdPoint from Veritone, Inc., a leading
provider of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and solutions,
where he served as Chief Scientist and developed CDI applications.
Dr. Kohn will continue to serve on the Company's Technical Advisory
Board.
In the past, Dr. Kohn served as the Head of Research for
High-Speed Trading at SEQA Capital Advisors, LP. Previously, he was
the Co-founder, Chief Scientist, and Director at Clearsight
Systems; Co-founder of Kohn-Nerode, Inc; and, Chief Researcher at
Lockheed Corporation at NASA Johnson Space Center. In addition, Dr.
Kohn has 25 patents and has authored four books and over 300 papers
in optimal hybrid control and quantum control, estimation and
learning systems, and architectures. He is currently working on a
book on metacontrol. Dr. Kohn received his M.S. and Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Before entering the private sector, Dr. Kohn served as Professor
of Electrical Engineering at Rice
University and as Professor in Industrial and Systems
Engineering at the University of
Washington. He recently joined the faculty of Drexel University.
"I am truly excited to join this team," said Dr. Kohn. "Sean and
I are long-time colleagues and I jumped at the opportunity to help
improve blockchain performance through optimization and
inferencing." Dr. Kohn brings tremendous energy and experience to
CrowdPoint. He completed work on building scalable and programmable
multifrequency, multi-blockchain forecasters for value and risk to
define optimal compute cycles in his first month. This is crucial
for the performance of vast, highly distributed blockchain systems,
which tend to be resource-intensive, and thus both expensive and
environmentally inefficient.
Dr. Kohn's advances in optimization homogenize the 11 publicly
traded market sectors. It establishes a cross-sector financial
metric to assess investment performance within a private blockchain
financial ecosystem by forecasting the return of the tokenized
portfolio relative to a digital asset acting as a risk-free rate
and dividing it by the standard deviation of the portfolio's excess
returns. He and his team will provide public and private financial
markets with a forecasted measurement of the instrument's
volatility.
Additionally, Dr. Kohn will help drive improved commerce
transactions using big data and blockchain as part of a shared
services department within the company.
