Hi, I’m Ken Koltermann. I’m currently the cofounder and CTO of Motion Medix LLC. My work focuses on leveraging recent advances in machine learning and wearable computing to improve how healthcare professionals can detect and treat motor function affecting diseases (primarily neurological diseases). I received my Ph.D. in computer science in 2024 from the College of William & Mary in Virginia under the supervision of Dr. Gang Zhou. I have 4+ years experience in the field of computing for healthcare, and have 4+ experience with designing human data collection studies including but not limited to: gait analysis, Parkinson’s disease symptoms, adult and adolescent vital sign monitoring, and vital sign monitoring during sleep studies. I also am an experienced applied machine learning scientist with 6 years experience with TensorFlow and PyTorch to solve complex problems from healthcare to computer security. In my free time, I enjoy powerlifting, hiking, and reading!

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
