Founder of Brighture LLC. Co-founder and fractional CTO of SMART Battery Analytics. MIT Postdoctoral Associate. IEEE Senior Member. PhD in Computational Intelligence from Tokyo Institute of Technology. Operator, researcher, and educator, in roughly that order.
Mehran blends rigorous research with hands-on product building across energy, mobility, and AI. He holds a PhD in Computational Intelligence and Systems Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology, served as a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT, and is an IEEE Senior Member with extensive publication and citation footprint across multi-agent systems, computational intelligence, and cyber-physical security.
In industry, he has led AI/ML and battery analytics work at Boeing and Fluence Energy, where he co-founded the Battery Analytics group that became a core competitive advantage and unlocked $40M/yr in CAPEX savings.
Today, he founds and operates Brighture LLC, serves as fractional CTO and co-founder of SMART Battery Analytics, and runs parallel work on grocifyai.info, SynerMotion, and AI for manufacturing (including the full AI & DX assessment delivered to RockFiber).
A strong educator identity runs through everything, designing learning experiences from kindergarten math to advanced ML systems, often bridging English, Farsi, Japanese, and Arabic.
The throughline: rigorous systems work meeting real-world deployment from autonomous flight at Boeing to grid-scale storage at Fluence, to multi-agent commerce at grocifyai.info.

“If you would walk the seeker's way,
through blood you still must stride.
The road itself will teach you how a traveler's steps must flow.”
, Attar, as often quoted by Mehran when talking to entrepreneurs
Brighture treats AI as infrastructure, not magic, tools serving clear, measurable outcomes. Start from real pain, model the system, then design AI that truly fits the human loop. If the team can't maintain what we built without us, we didn't finish the job.
Strategy calls and discovery workshops are handled personally. Pick a 30-minute slot and we'll spend it on whatever's most useful, your AI roadmap, a specific architecture question, or just feeling out fit.
