Robert Ellis, PhD

Robert Ellis, PhD, a co-founder of Koneksa, leads the development of model-driven approaches to solving complex clinical measurement challenges. His work focuses on translating physiologic signals into sensitive, interpretable endpoints through the integration of algorithms, signal characterization, and data-quality optimization.

Dr. Ellis has played a central role in shaping Koneksa’s measurement science framework, including the development of integrated modeling approaches that evaluate signal behavior, quantify variability, and improve endpoint performance across clinical programs. His expertise spans digital biomarkers, sensor-based data, and performance outcomes, with extensive application in neurodegenerative and rare disease research.

He holds a PhD in geophysics and brings more than 20 years of scientific and technical leadership experience supporting clinical development. Dr. Ellis has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in digital measurement and is a named inventor on multiple patents related to sensor-based health monitoring and algorithm development.
