Jonathan Witztum, PhD

About

I am Jonathan Witztum, neuroscientist, technologist, and innovator with a Ph.D. from Cornell University and over 20 years of experience bridging technology, biology, and neuroscience. My professional journey has always centered around transforming visionary concepts into practical, commercially viable solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve successfully combined multidisciplinary domains—ranging from neuroscience, software engineering, specialized hardware development, and advanced data analytics—to develop integrated technology solutions. I’ve led diverse teams, scaled early-stage ideas to market-ready products, and applied sophisticated AI and machine learning models to complex datasets to uncover novel insights and opportunities.

Whether you are pursuing a breakthrough technological venture or seeking a trusted scientific advisor to navigate complex technical and scientific landscapes, I bring clarity, strategic thinking, and practical implementation to support your goals.

AI, Agency & Specialized Intelligence

My background in neuroscience profoundly shapes how I approach artificial intelligence. The brain isn’t one big general-purpose processor—it’s a highly specialized system with distinct circuits adapted for perception, memory, decision-making, and action. This principle guides how I build and use AI systems: not as monolithic models, but as interconnected, specialized components that together form agentic, adaptable architectures.

At Poros Labs, I apply this perspective to build intelligent systems that combine generative models, geometric deep learning, and decision-centric logic. Whether it’s building agentic workflows, integrating domain-specific models, or mapping reasoning structures onto product pipelines, my approach balances inspiration from biology with real-world execution.

I view AI not just as a tool, but as a medium for encoding goals, adapting to constraints, and uncovering emergent insights—much like the nervous system does through feedback, specialization, and learning.
