Brett Tully is a Senior Director of AI Output Systems with 11 years of experience applying mathematical modelling, computational simulation and machine learning to high-impact problems across biomedical research, fusion energy and geospatial AI. He built and led numerical teams from academic DPhil work at Oxford—where he developed novel fluid–tissue models for the brain—to Head of Simulation at First Light Fusion, contributing to a 100x company valuation growth as an early founding technologist. At Nearmap he has scaled large Kubernetes/Kubeflow post-processing pipelines that convert deep learning outputs into productised geospatial data across tens of thousands of square kilometres per day. Brett combines deep numerical analysis and engineering design with product and go-to-market sensibilities, bridging science and commercialisation to translate advanced research into tangible services. Unusually for an AI leader, his background spans hands-on C++/Python simulation, mass-spectrometry data engineering and operational ML at production scale, giving him a rare cross-domain fluency. Based in Queensland, Australia, he focuses on delivering measurable impact where modelling and real-world systems intersect.
