Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAngus Addlesee is an Applied Scientist based in Cambridge with eight years of experience building conversational AI, currently contributing to Amazon AGI and Alexa. He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from Heriot-Watt and has a strong track record translating academic research into production—authoring multiple peer-reviewed papers on neural semantic parsing and incomplete questions while driving projects end-to-end at Amazon. His background spans startups and academia, from R&D and open-source releases at Wallscope to adapting dialog systems for clinical settings in the SPRING memory clinic project. Angus combines deep mathematical training with practical engineering skills, and earlier entrepreneurial and event-organising experience shows he thrives at the intersection of research, productisation, and community-building. An unexpected thread through his career is hands-on operational experience—from managing rental properties to running conferences—which informs his pragmatic approach to deploying robust AI systems.
