Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Sprague is an AI researcher and engineer with 10+ years of experience marrying model-based reliability and learning-driven adaptability across robotics, generative models, and physical sciences. Currently a Member of Technical Staff at Orbital, he has led work on spatiotemporal emulators, geometric latent embeddings for diffusion/flow models, and trustworthy hybrid dynamical systems, including inventing a formal treatment of behavior trees. His background spans autonomous systems (AUV deployments and control theory), molecular generative models for drug discovery, and large-scale software engineering for open-source emulation tools. Comfortable working across US, UK, and EU contexts, he blends first-principles thinking with pragmatic engineering and active engagement in reproducible research and teaching. Notably, he has applied stability and symmetry principles to improve generative modelling and demonstrated practical multi-GPU benchmarking for ligand docking workflows.
