Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDeepak Dennison is a PhD student and graduate research assistant at Cornell with nine years of interdisciplinary experience spanning AI for education, flow physics, and biophysics. He has built production AI tools at Stanford HAI—such as automated feedback for large-scale coding courses—and interned on research projects at Microsoft, demonstrating a strong research-to-product orientation. Deepak’s background blends engineering, design, and operations: he co-founded a local marketplace that drove measurable revenue growth, led tech-enabled transformations for a 1,200-student school during the pandemic, and helped scale low-cost makerspaces across India. Equally at home with building web and ML systems and with hands-on community impact, he brings a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach to problems that affect both learners and practitioners. Outside of research he’s a drummer and aviation enthusiast, a reminder that his curiosity extends beyond the lab.
