Summary
Guillaume Bellec is an assistant professor and computational neuroscientist with a decade of experience building theories that bridge biologically realistic neural networks and modern machine learning. Trained in machine learning at ENS Paris-Saclay and holding a PhD from TU Graz, he has produced work published in NeurIPS, ICLR and Nature Communications demonstrating that competitive AI can emerge from simple, biologically grounded models. After a postdoc at EPFL’s Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience, he joined TU Wien’s Machine Learning Research Unit to pursue research and teaching at the intersection of theory and application. He co-created Chord ai, a real-time chord recognition app that brought state-of-the-art deep learning to power-limited mobile devices and now serves over 100,000 monthly users, reflecting his interest in turning theory into usable tools for musicians. Known for blending rigorous theoretical work with practical deployments, he also has hands-on experience lecturing machine learning during his PhD and shipping production-grade mobile AI.
