Exceptionally strong background in computational techniques, experimental technology development and animal research with more than fifteen years of experience in software development, hardware control and AI-based computational techniques. He developed multiple experimental pipelines, such as a novel virtual reality system for animal research, adopted by multiple laboratories, including UCL, University of Cambridge, King’s College London, and the University of Hong Kong.

One of the leading scientists in spatial memory and navigation (published in Nature and Science) is on the Science Magazine Editorial Board; Deep Dementia Phenotyping Network, the UK DRI forum and ARUK; receiver of Eppendorf Science Prize (2015), the Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Dale (2017) and DRI fellowships (2019).

At the University of Cambridge, she leads one of the few labs in the world combining cutting edge optical and electrophysiological techniques. Together with Dr Bauza, they co-developed several revolutionary behavior paradigms such as the Honeycomb maze (published in Nature) and the smart-Kage.

PhD in Automation and Robotics, master’s degree in control systems. For over a decade he has developed bio-inspired and biomimetic robotics – soft robots using smart materials, that were exhibited at the Natural Science Museum of London and published in scientific journals. He has multiple patents in the areas of Agricultural Robotics, head and neck surgery and health care. he innovation leader of the first public-private centre for research and innovation in the Internet of Things (IoT) in Colombia, was a CTO and director of the mechatronics engineering department.

Dainius has over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry developing pharmaceutical materials (Pfizer Inc, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, etc.).
He is also educated in photography, graphic and web design. He maintains his own photography and video content creation business and has a proven record of accomplishment of growing business via innovative media solutions.
