ABOUT EWELINA KURTYS

Scientist-turned-entrepreneur with a PhD in neuroscience (+20 peer-reviewed papers). After academia, I transitioned into business development and technology commercialization, advising tech companies on sales, partnerships, and market strategy.

Originally trained in biology and biomedical science, I expanded into engineering through client projects, gaining experience in signal processing and Python.
