Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Killeen is an AI consultant and postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich with nine years of experience bridging academic research and industry applications in computer vision and medical imaging. He earned a PhD in computer science from Johns Hopkins University in 2025 after contributing to ARCADE and CIRL labs, and now works on translating cutting-edge perception and surgical-assistance research into deployable systems. His background includes internships at Intuitive and IBM where he developed practical CV/ML prototypes and explored hardware-accelerated neural networks, and early roles building scientific image detection and clinician-facing analytics. Based in Munich, he combines rigorous experimental methodology with product-minded engineering, focusing on high-precision object detection and clinical workflows. Notably, his work spans from simulating orders-of-magnitude speedups for analog-memory CNNs to hands-on development of tools used by clinicians, showing a rare mix of systems-level thinking and domain-specific impact.
