The Research Staff at Neuric Technologies

Our staff of researchers is organized into three primary areas: Parsing, Linguistics and Volition. Neuric’s multiple linguists have backgrounds in both English and Arabic, and they regularly push the envelope beyond the baselines of current academic achievement in Linguistics. The software and engineering development staff includes engineers from a number of disciplines, including software or computer engineers, including seasoned professionals who know the ropes.

Because Neuric fosters cross-disciplinary interaction, much of the entire crew has strong working knowledge in the areas of psychology and temperament, software, parsing, linguistics and the use of tools to get the job done.

The off-hour interests of this talented, bright and capable crew include rock climbing, web design, mentoring of college students, photography (with the occasional exhibits), music, boating and doing what it takes to build other people up. Every one of them has a heart for people. They’re awesome!

Finally, the management staff includes talent from former large-system CAD/CAE management teams. Neuric also has external advisors, seasoned industry veterans of various disciplines that are drawn on from time to time.

Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder: Thomas A. Visel

Mr. Visel has strong cross-disciplinary skills that have guided development of an alternative to AI, a true brain. The first delivered brain is currently being applied and evaluated in an area of national security.

Thomas has developed the original model for the emotion and temperament-based emulation of the human brain and human thought, for application in both military and commercial fields and holds a number of patents in this and unrelated fields of technology.

Previously Mr. Visel was CTO at Applied Nanotech, managing the transition of a hydrogen sensor from the research laboratory to commercialization. He guided the team through the pitfalls of many previously unknown physical phenomenons of nanotechnology to create a robust commercial device.

His background is diverse as it is deep, and includes creation of electro-optic devices for both imaging and display. He has managed early development of CMOS, Liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) display devices, and the design of electronics for them.

Mr. Visel managed electro-optic development for Holographic Waveguide Consortium, was Director of Electrical and Software Engineering at Tamarack Storage Devices, and managed development of the ARM-3 processor at VLSI Technologies during the transition to sub-micron feature processes.

Early in his career, Mr. Visel developed the prototype vector display processor for the first commercial color television cockpit display, the EFIS display for the Boeing 7×7 family that heralded the transition to the “glass cockpit” from mechanical instruments.

His hobbies include RF and amateur radio, with particular interest in microwave communications. He designs his own transmitters and receivers for the purpose. He has managed three state Senate and House races in Arizona. He is a musician and photographer and loves to sail.
