Sean Guillory attained his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from Dartmouth College where he primarily worked with neurosurgery patients to help improve mapping for brain functions important to their personal lives. He then took that experience to help build up a start-up business incubator aimed at helping humanity (Fruition Tech Labs) and to work on data science efforts to help catch online scammers (ConsumerAffairs). He now focuses on utilizing his background in automation, biometrics, and social science methodology to help solve issues within defense and national security.
