Bo Wen

Dr. Bo Wen is a versatile researcher with extensive experience in generative AI, Multi-agent system, Neuro-inspired LLM Reasoning framework and theory, Human-AI interaction design, cloud architect, data orchestration and analysis, semiconductor/electronics/software development and large scale international scientific project management. He has domain expertise in digital health, cognitive science, computational psychiatric and physics. In his leisure time, he studies the AI Alignment, AI Safety, neuroscience, information theory, the second law of thermodynamic and time dimension, and their influence on the scientific discovery process.

Joining IBM in 2016, Dr. Wen has since been working in the Healthcare and Life Sciences department, contributing to numerous wearables and IoT projects. In mid-2017, he shifted his focus to Digital Health, overseeing the operation and development of IBM’s Home Health Lab from 2018 to 2020. Dr. Wen has played a pivotal role in leading the design and development of the IBM Health Guardian platform, which currently supports multiple digital health research projects for IBM and its collaborators. Since 2022, he was appointed as the sub-theme lead and strategist for the Digital Biomarker field and has been chairing the patent disclosure review committee of "Emerging Technology - Digital Health: Meds, Biomarkers, Therapy." Recently, he developed multiple work streams on utilizing the generative AI technology in various healthcare applications.

Before joining IBM, Dr. Wen had a successful career as an experimental physicist. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the City University of New York under the guidance of Distinguished Professor Myriam Sarachik. His research spanned a wide range of low-temperature quantum physics areas, including superconducting proximity effects in high-mobility hBN-encapsulated graphene, dipolar interactions, and long-range ordering in single-molecule magnets. Dr. Wen is well-versed in coordinating large-scale experiments that involve multi-lab collaborations and international partnerships. From 2014 to 2016, he led and supervised the construction of the Nanoelectronics Lab (Cory Dean Lab) at Columbia University.
