Gershon Wolfe, Ph.D.
Gershon Wolfe is the founder of CIPHERICA and the creator of CIPHER-SKI. He works at the intersection of physical chemistry, molecular simulation, and advanced machine learning, combining deep domain knowledge with strong technical execution.
A background in chemical physics spanning thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, NMR methods development, and molecular dynamics. He pairs this foundation with strong proficiency in both imperative and functional programming, and applies the combined toolkit to generative AI systems for molecular discovery and complex chemical systems.
He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from UCLA, a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Washington, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Molecular Dynamics at UCSF. He is a recipient of the Royal Dutch Shell Fellowship and the National Institutes of Health Molecular Biophysics Training Award.
Brian Wolfe
Brian Wolfe is a veteran software developer with deep expertise in building sophisticated, high-performance systems for financial applications. His work spans implementing Markowitz Modern Portfolio Theory, ARCH/GARCH volatility modeling, and advanced semi-non-parametric optimization techniques.
A recognized expert in functional programming, particularly Lisp, Brian has designed and developed multiple domain-specific languages (DSLs) for symbolic AI, financial forecasting, information management, and real-time systems. An accomplished full-stack engineer, he has built robust client-server architectures using LAMP stacks and various relational database systems.
He holds a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Utah.
