Dr Amit Walinjkar is the Founding Research Director of Vitacore Research Collaborative. He holds a PhD in Computing and Electronic Engineering, with research applying computing, AI, and electronics to medical and multi-disciplinary problems — including wearable physiological sensing, ECG signal processing, HL7-FHIR clinical data standards, and real-time trauma scoring.
His scientific foundations span computational and life sciences. He has undertaken BBSRC-funded bioinformatics research on protein sequence search engines and further BBSRC-funded collaborative work at EMBL-EBI. He holds NERC-funded research experience, and his published work extends into environmental physiology, including a paper on ocean liminography in Physiology.
He brings fifteen years of senior-level industry experience in telecommunications, working at senior engineering and technical leadership levels in telemetry, observability, and large-scale distributed systems. This career underpins the formal methods toolkit he now applies to biological and clinical systems: the same verification methods used to certify the safety of telecommunications protocols apply directly to certifying the safety of AI-driven clinical decision systems.
His current research priorities are the formal verification of AI clinical decision support, the signal-fusion framework for non-invasive intracranial pressure measurement, and the information-theoretic limits of clinical detection assays.
