Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Miller is a research scientist with 11 years of experience at the intersection of machine learning, physics, and computational chemistry, currently working on FAIR Chemistry at Meta. He completed a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Amsterdam after research stints with Max Welling and groups in AI4Science, and has driven ML-for-science projects at Microsoft Research and Meta’s Open Catalyst. Benjamin contributes to e3nn, enhancing mathematical foundations and equivariance tests for neural networks with Euclidean symmetry—work that reflects a deep comfort with both theory and engineering. His background in physics and computational science fuels practical innovations like high-performance molecular data loaders and symmetry-respecting models, and he has a track record of speeding production pipelines and shipping reproducible research. Notably, he blends formal mathematical improvements (spherical harmonic parity operators, SO3 fixes) with hands-on backend and ML engineering to make advanced equivariant architectures more robust and usable.
