Seyed Sajjadi is a technologist & entrepreneur with more than 15 years of demonstrated history of working in academia, industry, and government. Before founding nFlux AI as a NASA spin-out, Sajjadi joined NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as part of Europa Clipper Systems Engineering team. He contributed to the JPL’s largest application of Model
Based Systems Engineering. Additionally, he contributed to ongoing development of autonomy functionalities for PUFFER (Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robot), an origami-inspired robot concept that would provide future NASA missions with simple, low-cost access to new high-value extreme terrains. More recently, he has been co-investigator on a multi
million dollar NASA research grant for futuristic artificial intelligence systems.

Previously, under a U.S Air Force Office of Scientific Research grant, Sajjadi led an interdisciplinary team of 35 engineering and human factors researchers to build the next generation of robotic search and rescue systems with artificial intelligence. His team designed and architected scalable platforms consisting of rovers and drones capable of detecting humans through visual and auditory sensors, mapping and exploring chaotic environments, and communicating with an operator in a Ground Control Station.

During his years as a Data Scientist at Electronic Arts (EA), Sajjadi architected and deployed machine learning pipelines to better understand and predict player behaviors in the games. His large-scale frameworks for clustering, recommendation engine and lifecycle-based behavioral segmentation are being used on tens of millions of users. Sajjadi has
consulted Boeing and General Motors (GM) on autonomous systems with a patent pending on autonomous planes. He was previously a computer vision research fellow at Caltech where he designed and applied deep learning and computational methods to quantify image data coming from biological and biomedical experiments.

Over the past 15 years, Mr. Sajjadi has:
Built innovative products that are now in deep space, households, &
manufacturing plants around the globe
Built and led world-class teams solving hard problems
Secured multi-million-dollar contracts from NASA, the US Space Force,
and the US Air Force.
Raised eight-digit venture funding from top-tier investors across multiple
financing rounds.
Received the Forbes 30 Under 30 award (Manufacturing & Industry 2023)
Won 1st Prize in the Presidential Khwarizmi Award in Robotics.
Published 10+ scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
Designed, implemented, & deployed value-adding solutions in robotics,
aerospace, defense, aeronautics, manufacturing, media & entertainment,
and gaming
