Speaker
Dr. Michael Ferrari is the Vice President of Research at Moby, and Senior Partner at AlphaGeo. His work emphasizes commercializing basic and applied research towards a variety of scientific, technical, and economic domains sitting at the deep tech, data, and industrial interface. Most of his work sits at the agriculture-energy--water-infrastructure nexus, and explores the confluence of three emerging global trends: natural resource geoeconomics, the agriculture-energy transition and technological evolution. He has built applied research teams at numerous early stage companies, as well as several large global corporations, including Syngenta, Point72 Asset Management, IBM, and Mars. Dr. Ferrari earned his PhD from Rutgers University focusing on computational fluid dynamics, applied nuclear science and environmental biophysics, where his research centered on better understanding the industrial/environmental interface and the earth/space/biosphere complex from both an information systems and an evolutionary perspective. His doctoral work in numerical modeling and applied mathematics was supported by the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan.
