Cory Simon is an associate professor of chemical engineering at Oregon State University who applies probabilistic modeling, machine learning, and optimization to drive data-informed predictions and policies in chemical and biological systems. With a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and a background in applied mathematics, he blends deep theoretical expertise with practical experience from industry and national labs, including a DOE fellowship at Berkeley Lab and a data science internship at Stitch Fix. His work spans molecular simulation, neural-network analysis of gene expression, and large-scale screening of nanoporous materials, reflecting a rare ability to translate ML methods into experiments and engineered processes. He has eight years of academic experience leading research that intersects chemical engineering and computational sciences, and he spent a recent summer embedded at Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic, highlighting cross-disciplinary and applied defense-relevant work. Colleagues value his skill in turning complex stochastic models into actionable design rules and policy recommendations.
