Gasparakis Harris

Dr. Harris Gasparakis, a graduate of the Department of Physics of the University of Athens, with a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at SUNYSB New York, lives and works in the United States. Dr. Gasparakis has multiple decades of experience in developing cutting edge medical technology. Select contributions include: He was the first to develop a commercially available Radiology Information System (RIS) with real-time volumetric rendering capabilities, including real-time virtual colonoscopy (Vitrea software, currently Canon Medical Systems). He also pioneered the development of magnetic localization technology used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (Biosense Webster/J&J), as well as a real-time 3D electroanatomical mapping system of the heart (CardioInsight/Medtronic), surgical robotics technology (Stereotaxis), Intra aortic balloon pump (Teleflex), among others.

Dr. Gasparakis has extensive experience in both VC funded startups, where he participated in securing financing rounds, as well as in multinational corporations, leading cross functional teams and relationships in a very international environment. Most recently, he is the principal architect and visionary of AMD’s Artificial Intelligence (machine learning) team focusing on inference.

Having lost his father to lung cancer, Dr. Gasparakis is deeply committed to contributing to initiatives that raise public awareness and promote education, prevention, and early diagnosis of lung cancer.
