Bio
Lev Kurbanyan
I've had the privilege of working with Krista for over 6 years at GlySens as we developed a long-term implantable glucose sensor. In that time, I saw Krista excel both technically as a data scientist and algorithm engineer and also as a leader in the sensor development group helping to set development direction and managing algorithm development efforts. Her contributions to the sensor's glucose calculation algorithms were profound - it astonished me how quickly and significantly the accuracy of the sensors' reported glucose improved with her efforts in calibration, filtering, channel selection, etc. From a sensor development standpoint, she was instrumental in identifying weaknesses in the sensor performance by diving deep into clinical and bench data and providing insights the development team would use to inform sensor design. She also proved herself to be a great leader to junior engineers, ensuring they stay results focused and produce actionable outcomes. Krista has a great ability to cut through the noise and help people focus on what's important and guide them on how to actually produce results. Very affable and professional, Krista is highly prized and respected by all who work with her. With her good judgment and an ability to just get things done, she is a tremendous asset to any organization lucky enough to have her.

Krista is an highly versatile engineer and analyst in algorithms, data and software, who can communicate exceptionally. She works well with all interdisciplinary groups of colleagues including engineers, scientists, clinical and management. A quick learner, pragmatic thinker, and conscientious. Able to plan and prioritize projects for a team, then next moment be hands-on in software coding and data mining as an individual contributor. Has shown great awareness and diligence in all her undertakings, from fast early concept exploration to rigorous design-controlled development and human clinical trial collaboration.
