Vicki spent nearly five years in sensor R&D at Apple as a Product Design Engineer, prototyping the sensors inside AirPods, Apple Watch and iPhone and building the factory automation to make them at scale. That work earned her three wearable health sensor patents. Before Apple she was the first engineer at Akimbo, a wearable recovery device startup acquired by Koya Medical.

She holds a master's in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan and an MBA from Oxford, where she and Jonathan started Lume. Her vision is to leverage the latest technology to help people reach their full potential.

Jonathan is a physician-scientist and nationally recognized medical researcher who spent several years on the front lines of South Africa's public health system. He ran
a hospital's COVID programme, deployed AI screening systems, and saw the same pattern every day: patients arriving with problems that had been building silently for years.

He holds an MBBCh and an Oxford MBA. At Lume, he leads the science and technology behind tools that help people better understand and take control of their health.

Tim spent eighteen years at Apple, joining the iPod team in 2004, working on the first iPhone as a system integrator, and finishing as a Distinguished Engineer and Director of
Apple Watch System Architecture. Few people have shipped more wearable hardware.

Before Apple he designed portable music players from the ground up, including the CNET Best of CES–winning Neuros. At Lume he shapes the system architecture of our devices, from sensor to silicon to battery.

Andrey has spent nearly forty years in biosensors and bioassays, from a blood-bank contamination sensor in the late nineties to the electrochemical detection platform behind CombiMatrix's ElectraSense microarray product. He set up and ran the biosensor laboratory at Sharp Laboratories of America, invented the patented Restriction Cascade Exponential Amplification assay platform at Cascade Biosystems, and won the Elsevier Biosensors & Bioelectronics Award for the most original contribution at the World Congress on Biosensors.

He holds a PhD in biochemistry from the A. N. Bach Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and trained in chemistry at Moscow State University. At Lume he leads the assay chemistry that makes a hormone detectable at the concentrations found in sweat.

Sneha earned her PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State, where she developed zero-power wearable sweat sensors for cortisol, lactate and potassium and
validated them in human trials. She has ten peer-reviewed publications, including work in Lab on a Chip, and Sensors and Actuators B, and a master's from IIT Kharagpur.

She was Lume's first scientific hire, setting up our lab and running experiments in her first week. She leads the aptamer chemistry that lets our sensors detect hormones in sweat.

Jake spent fifteen years at Apple as a sensing hardware engineer. First working on the design and integration of touch sensors, then over a decade prototyping new sensing features and user experiences across multiple product lines. He is named on six patents, from stylus design to headphone controls.

He holds a master's in electrical engineering from Stanford and a bachelor's from Brown. At Lume he leads electrical and firmware engineering, turning benchtop sensing into something you can wear every day.

Soyoung completed her PhD in chemical engineering at Caltech in Wei Gao's lab, one of the world's leading groups in wearable biosensing. Her research focused on bioinspired
microfluidics for continuous, multi-day sweat sampling, published in Science Advances, and a review in Advanced Science on what it takes to make sweat measurements reliable in the real world.

She also spent time as a research scientist intern at Meta. At Lume she owns how sweat gets from skin to sensor, the part of the problem most wearables never solve.

Martin trained as an engineer at EPFL and ETH Zürich, then spent time at Withings on their remote patient monitoring platform and at Stanford's Bao Group building a pipeline to extract cardiovascular biomarkers from a smart ring. He has published peer-reviewed work on predicting glucose from wearable data.

At Lume he leads wearable algorithm development, turning raw sensor signals into a cortisol rhythm you can read, and makes sure the product we ship matches the science
behind it.

Ben is a product designer and filmmaker who has led design at MetaLab and worked with Google DeepMind Health, Google Creative Lab, How We Feel, Slack, Fitbod and January AI. He specialises in health and wellness products people actually keep using.

At Lume he shapes how the science shows up on screen, so that a cortisol rhythm reads as clearly as a step count.

Daniel spent seven years at Amazon as a product manager and general manager across Global Retail and Prime. He is now working on new ventures in deep tech and frontier
technologies.

He holds an MBA from University of Oxford, where he first started working with Vicki and Jonathan, as well as a BA in history from Yale University. At Lume he works on
strategy and focuses on how we can always put our customers first.
