Amin Alam
R&D Engineer
Vienna
At Syntropic, he combines his background in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering with over six years of expertise in software engineering, AI, hardware design, and cyber security to lead the company’s software/hardware/data systems development.
“I’ve always loved building things—software, hardware, AI models, anything. When I see a system, I can’t help but take it apart to see how it works.”
Amin Alam grew up in Iran, amid a fervent political and economic climate, with a computer in his hands for as long as he can remember. Although he was fascinated with the computers since he was a kid, he decided to pursue his studies both in electrical engineering and computer science. “As an electrical engineer, I learned to see everything as a system. This approach gave me the tools to break down problems into smaller, manageable parts and arrive at solutions more quickly. Applying this engineering mindset to computer science allows me to solve complex problems that others might overlook.”
Amin earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, graduating with honors for his extensive extracurricular contributions. During his studies, he explored the effects of 40Hz flickering light on both healthy individuals and Alzheimer’s patients, employing EEG and signal processing techniques, and developed innovative methods for converting EEG data to fMRI using deep learning. He then undertook a scientificBack in Iran, I worked with a few tech startups during my studies.

Amin has since continued to expand his expertise in Deep Learning, Signal Processing, Systems Neuroscience, Software Engineering, and Hardware Prototyping within Syntropic Medical.

This adaptability was precisely the mindset he found at Syntropic. Amin’s extensive experience as a software engineer and data scientist with several successful Iranian startups has given him a deep understanding of the engineering challenges startups face when developing new solutions, allowing him to work at a rapid pace. Speed, he believes, is essential for building a competitive business.
What’s the unique advantage you bring to the Syntropic team?
“Resilience and hard work. When things don’t work out, I keep at it or find another way. Simple as that.”
