Joe Zott • ZedTech Consulting
Delivering executive management, biophotonics, medical device development, and Physics-First AI engineering—leveraging advanced AI workflows to achieve the speed and depth of an entire engineering team.
Physics-First AI Core Philosophy
Data-first machine learning models trained on static bench tests often fail predictably when deployed in live physical environments. Physics-First AI grounds algorithms in physical first-principles—eliminating model hallucinations, solving real-world distribution shift, and identifying true hardware-level solutions.
Physical De-Noising
Decomposing physical variables (field dynamics, material responses, boundary forces) before touching machine learning classifiers.
Hardware-Derived Fixes
Pinpointing hardware-level design fixes—such as multi-modal signal sampling—to resolve signal ambiguities at the physical source.
1-Man Team Acceleration
Using AI to generate sensor simulators, signal processing pipelines, and HMM classifiers under expert human physical governance in days.
Physiological Sensor Redesign & Failure Analysis
How a physics-first model resolved an order-of-magnitude signal calibration discrepancy, delivering a +35 point accuracy gain (65% → 88%) in state classification under a 40-hour engineering sprint.
