Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBhavik Mehta is a mathematician-turned-software engineer with eight years of experience at the intersection of formal methods, machine learning, and research engineering. Currently a Chapman Fellow in Mathematics at Imperial College London, he previously worked as a Research Scientist on AlphaProof at DeepMind and completed a PhD at Cambridge, blending deep theoretical training with applied systems work. He has made significant open-source contributions to the widely used Lean mathlib3 library, formalizing lemmas in power functions, sets, finite sets and core category theory—evidence of both proof engineering skill and attention to foundational correctness. His background includes internships at Tweag I/O and Quantcast, giving him practical software and ML production experience alongside academic rigor. Based in the UK, Bhavik brings a rare combination of theorem-proving expertise and hands-on engineering that helps bridge formal verification and deployable ML systems.
