Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenat Uranga is a physicist-turned-founder with a Cambridge PhD bridging theoretical physics, machine learning and generative AI, and eight years of industrial research and engineering experience. He founded KoopAI and is a visiting research scientist at Cambridge, focusing on Large Language Models that accelerate scientific discovery and on quantum-inspired generative architectures. His past work includes a published quantum-inspired generative model and an AI system that detected VAT fraud for the Spanish Tax Agency using semi-supervised anomaly techniques adapted from astrophysics. Comfortable moving between deep theory and production systems, he has applied disentangled representations and rare-event detection in real-world settings. Based in Bilbao, he’s currently developing a stealth-mode startup that applies rigorous physics-inspired ideas to next-generation generative models.
