Mark S Olsson
He is Seescan Founder & CEO. Mark became interested in inventing deep sea cameras at the age of 16 and has been at it ever since.
In 1981, he was a member of the group’s expedition team that searched for the ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.
Mark created DeepSea Power & Light out of a desire to develop products that would help open up the deep ocean to everyone and help scientists study it. Mark says that his “aspirations and dreams have been achieved. My products have visited the deepest parts of the ocean and found a home in intriguing places around the world.”
The first product that emerged from his workshop garage was an underwater battery to power deep sea instruments called a ‘SeaBattery’. A few years later, Mark developed incandescent lights for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), followed by underwater video cameras and special high-intensity 400 to 1200-watt metal halide (HMI) gas discharge lights.
The powerful HMI lights were used for historical shipwreck explorations, such as the R.M.S. Titanic expedition and for major motion picture filming, including the movie Titanic.
Patent №:11674906 (June 13, 2023) – Self-leveling inspection systems and methods. This system includes a camera head with an image sensor and orientation sensor, along with a signal processing module.

Kishore Kumar Muchherla
Over 17 years of experience in SSD media architecture, NAND flash and PSRAM.
Mr. Muchherla participated in a panel talk at International Memory Workshop 2022 conference.
He modelled data flows within SSD by developing an FTL mode; developed data caching, garbage collection and data segregation policies.
Hands-on experience in NAND algorithms, electrical failure analysis, testing, and qualification. Developed media management algorithms and error recovery flow.
Patent №:11675529 (June 13, 2023) – Threshold voltage determination for calibrating voltage bins of a memory device.
Patent №:11676664 (June 13, 2023) – Voltage bin selection for blocks of a memory device after power up of the memory device.
Jonathan P Ive
London-born designer Jonathan Ive is the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple, reporting directly to the CEO.
Since 1996 he has been responsible for leading a design team widely regarded as one of the world’s best.

Patent №:11678379 (June 13, 2023) – Physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission in new radio (NR). Wireless systems use random access signalling, where a user equipment (UE) sends a signal to a base station (BS) in a frequency band. The signal’s length, in time or frequency, is determined by the subcarrier spacing (SCS) in that band. The BS receives the signal and responds to the UE.
