Interdisciplinary by design.

Alongside his entrepreneurial work, Scott is an academic and researcher as well. His work bridges psychology, criminology, finance, and public policy, giving him a direct understanding of the behavioural questions CortexaCore’s technology is designed to answer, from security screening and criminal justice to workforce selection and strategic communication. He is also the Founder of Irteeqa, an institutional digital asset infrastructure company serving financial institutions, governments, and sovereign organisations. Combining commercial leadership with academic research and strategic foresight, Scott works with governments, regulators, and global organisations to accelerate the responsible adoption of neurotechnology and AI, ensuring that powerful cognitive insight is deployed within strong ethical and governance frameworks.

His current research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, human behaviour, and national security, examining how emerging technologies affect decision-making, trust, influence, and institutional vulnerability, and how cognitive measurement methods such as eye-tracking and neuroimaging can strengthen security and migration governance research. He has led and contributed to internationally funded research programmes, published extensively on foreign policy, conflict, security, and political violence, and advised multidisciplinary initiatives addressing some of the most complex challenges facing governments and institutions. Within CortexaCore, Hamoon leads the security and defence research agenda, helping to translate the platform’s Eye-to-Brain insights into rigorous, ethically governed applications for screening, interviewing, intelligence, and strategic communication, grounded in a sophisticated understanding of real-world threat environments.

His work includes building sophisticated machine learning systems for fraud and anomaly detection, developing predictive models and personalised recommendation engines, and strengthening cybersecurity frameworks through machine learning-based anomaly detection to protect highly sensitive information. His initiatives in intelligent process automation have delivered substantial operational cost reductions and productivity gains. Earlier in his career, he co-founded and led the development of applied AI solutions in computer vision, predictive risk, and route optimisation, including systems deployed across large operational fleets that delivered measurable improvements in safety and efficiency. With an academic foundation in mechatronics and artificial intelligence, Sandbad brings together the model development, real-time data engineering, microservices architecture, and security expertise needed to take CortexaCore's neuro-trained Eye-to-Brain model from research into robust, scalable, and secure products for government, defence, and enterprise clients.

Derek holds a Dr. Philos. in Science and Engineering from the University of Agder, Norway and an MSc in Political Economics from the University of Zagreb. His futures-related topics cover areas such as the impact of multimedia, progressive culture and future technologies on transformative societies, human development, smart cities and security, emerging techno-economic paradigms, decentralised thinking and knowledge systems, transdisciplinary education, intelligent environments and the changing workplace.

In addition to his consulting, Derek has authored five professional books and maintains several teaching and University Advisory Board roles at universities in the USA, Norway, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. He is an adviser to UNESCO and part of a Norwegian team for educational cooperation and programmes in Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia, specifically for the introduction of programmes for advanced multimedia and learning technologies. At CortexaCore, Derek brings long-range foresight on how neurotechnology and cognitive analytics will reshape security, work, communication, and society, helping the company anticipate emerging markets as well as the ethical and regulatory questions that will accompany them.

Alongside her academic career, Professor Kaynak has extensive board-level and executive advisory experience, having served as an Independent Board Member of DenizBank during a period of significant regulatory and technological transformation, and currently serving as an Independent Board Member of Dünya Holding A.Ş. Her research focuses on political psychology, international security, conflict transformation, and leadership, with particular emphasis on non-violent approaches to resolving complex global challenges. A prolific author of 15 books and numerous scholarly publications, several of her works have become national bestsellers. She is also a respected media commentator, columnist, and advocate for women in leadership through organisations including TIKAD and Wtech. In recognition of her outstanding international contribution to political psychology, she was awarded the prestigious 2026 Nevitt Sanford Award by the International Society of Political Psychology (ISPP). Her expertise in perception, trust, and decision-making gives CortexaCore a strong theoretical foundation for interpreting subconscious responses, while her board-level experience strengthens the ethical oversight that responsible neurotechnology demands.

His current work centres on the future of artificial intelligence, with particular focus on the AI Economy 2040 and Society 6.0, supporting governments, businesses, and institutions in understanding and navigating long-term transformation. He delivers the Sectoral AI Transformation Atlas 2026–2036, providing strategic insight into how AI will reshape industries over the coming decade. Kamil also plays a leading role in the pioneering SF4Sport – Strategic Foresight for Sport initiative, the first project of its kind in the European Union, where he serves as Advisory Board Chair for the Strategic Foresight Methodology, working alongside a consortium of 17 organisations across 14 European countries. His work at the meeting point of sport, foresight, and AI aligns closely with CortexaCore’s applications in high-performance sport and mental performance, and helps the company anticipate how neuro-AI will be adopted across sectors over the coming decade.

Throughout his career, Lars has held senior leadership positions within global media, technology, and data organisations, while also founding and leading successful entrepreneurial ventures in digital publishing, interactive media, IPTV, and marketing technologies. He has played a key role in bringing innovative products and services to international markets, developing commercial strategies, leading multidisciplinary teams, and building long-term partnerships with enterprise clients across Europe. Combining deep commercial expertise with long experience in marketing technology and audience engagement, Lars helps CortexaCore build the partnerships and market presence needed to bring its neuro-AI insight to clients in strategic communications, marketing, product development, retail, corporate, and government sectors.
