Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Glassner is a veteran researcher and technology leader specializing in creative applications of AI, deep learning, quantum computing, and computer graphics, currently serving as CTO and Principal Research Scientist at The Imaginary Institute. With a PhD in computer science and over three decades of research and industry experience spanning Xerox PARC, Microsoft Research, Weta Digital, Unity, and Tableau, he blends academic rigor with production-grade visual effects and ML engineering. He is the author of accessible technical books—most recently "Deep Learning: A Visual Approach" and "Quantum Computing: From Concepts to Code"—that reflect his talent for making complex ideas tangible. Andrew has repeatedly bridged studio-scale visual effects and cutting-edge ML research, contributing as a papers chair, journal editor, and founding editor of the Journal of Graphics Tools. Based in Vancouver, he describes himself as an aspirational polymath—equally at home writing and directing as he is inventing algorithms—and often brings storytelling instincts to technical problems.
