About the Director

S. Vincent Grasso, DO, MSIS, MBA is a physician executive, artificial intelligence systems architect, and interdisciplinary academic directing DLEV Studio in his individual capacity. He serves as the principal architect of the systems evaluated within the Studio, with all background intellectual property held through Grasso & Co., LLC.

Dr. Grasso’s work in artificial intelligence centers on the design and governance of high-reliability human–AI systems for high-stakes environments. His focus includes simulation-based evaluation, precision clinical communication, workflow intelligence, and multimodal reasoning. Across these domains, he emphasizes evaluation-first system design, boundary enforcement, and human-in-the-loop oversight rather than deployment-driven optimization or market acceleration.

His technology and AI experience includes global leadership and advisory roles across public- and private-sector organizations, where he has operated at senior technical and strategic levels supporting large-scale intelligent systems. This includes work with multinational enterprises and enterprise AI platform organizations such as Panasonic, IPsoft, and LGS Global, spanning healthcare, industrial, and public-sector contexts. These roles inform the Studio’s emphasis on governed architectures, institutional readiness, and disciplined separation between evaluation, translation, and commercialization.

Dr. Grasso maintains an active New Jersey medical license, preserving a continuous professional connection to patient care alongside his work in artificial intelligence and systems research. Unlike many physician-technologists whose work is fully detached from clinical practice, his research and development activities remain informed by direct clinical training, contemporary standards of care, and lived understanding of clinical workflow, communication, and ethical constraint. This grounding ensures that systems evaluated within the Studio reflect real-world clinical realities while remaining strictly non-clinical, simulation-only, and evaluative in nature.

Academically, Dr. Grasso’s training spans medicine, informatics, systems engineering, and business process design. He completed clinical training at Mount Sinai and Yale, followed by advanced medical informatics training through a NASA–Yale fellowship focused on complex human–machine systems. He holds graduate degrees in Information Systems and Business Administration and is a PhD candidate in a program focused on precision clinical communication and humanistic AI.

He currently serves as a Clinical Professor (Volunteer) at Rowan–Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine in the Department of Medical Education & Scholarship and as a Research Professor (Volunteer) in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico. These appointments are advisory and scholarly in nature and do not confer institutional authority, operational responsibility, or intellectual property ownership.

Dr. Grasso does not act on behalf of any academic institution, healthcare organization, government body, or commercial entity in connection with the DLEV Studio. The Studio is not a research institution, employer, or sponsoring organization. Engagements with universities or other institutions occur only under written agreement and do not imply authorship, inventorship, intellectual property assignment, institutional representation, or agency.

The structure of the Studio reflects a deliberate separation between background intellectual property, internal system evaluation, and any downstream academic, translational, or commercial activity. This separation is intended to simplify institutional engagement by providing clear governance boundaries, unambiguous ownership, and a defined interface for non-clinical, pre-publication evaluation and collaboration.
