Top SchoolEdoardo Pona is a research-focused machine learning engineer and entrepreneur with nine years of experience bridging AI research and product delivery across startups, finance, and academia. Currently a Research Resident at Elicit and a PhD candidate in AI at King's College London, he previously led AI at Planda and built ML-driven trading systems at Eisler Capital. He co-founded QVote and co-led KCL Blockchain, demonstrating a strong thread of applied research, open-source engagement (see GitHub QVote/EdoardoPona), and product-oriented experimentation.
