Short-bio (doc. Georgiev):

Daniel Georgiev is an accomplished operator of multiple deep tech research programs and a serial entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and CEO of Sampling Human, a techbio company based in Berkeley, CA, revolutionizing single-cell measurement for healthcare and drug development. Under his leadership, Sampling Human developed a novel plug-and-play solution that integrates advanced measurement technologies with machine learning algorithms, delivering highly sensitive single-cell, spatial omics data at an industrial scale. His innovative approach has earned him multiple prestigious awards, including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the City Prize for Innovation in Biotech, and the UWB Commemorative Medal.  Daniel is also an Associate Professor at the University of West Bohemia, where he established the first Synthetic Biology program in the Czech Republic. He assembled a multidisciplinary team and utilized his startup expertise as CTO at Clocky to foster a mission-driven culture focused on breakthrough technologies for precise characterization of biological systems. His team has published extensively at the intersection of genetic engineering, microfluidics, and machine learning. Daniel also organized the first Czech iGEM team, which he led to achieve first place in Health and Medicine and overall runner-up prize. Daniel holds a Master's in Applied Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Systems Theory from the University of Michigan. His dissertation on Team Theory introduced a novel principle of optimal modularity arising from decentralization in information structures. Following his Ph.D., he received an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he developed experimental methods for the mathematical modeling of genetically engineered cells.

Short-bio (doc. Soukup):

Radek Soukup graduated from the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen in 2009 with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. During his studies, he took part in study exchange programs at the Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen (Danish Government Scholarship) and Brunel University in London (Erasmus Program). He also completed internships at Siemens VDO and Continental in Germany. His research interests include smart textiles and printed electronics. He is the author/co-author of 7 patents, 20 utility models, 38 prototypes, and 12 verified technologies. He served as the coordinator of the Czech-Italian consortium that succeeded in the pre-commercial procurement tender for smart personal protective equipment for firefighters in 2016. This tender was organized within the framework of the FP7 Smart@fire project. Radek Soukup has led 9 national and 6 international applied research projects. The EURIPIDES EUREKA project ADVANTEX, where he led the Czech consortium, was recognized as a EUREKA Success Story project in 2018. He currently heads the Smart Textiles Group in the Department of Materials and Technology at the University of West Bohemia. Alongside his team and industrial partners, he played a pivotal role in the successful launch of various products, including a hybrid conductive thread, a smart firefighter's suit, and a smart protective glove.
