Senior🎓
Top SchoolHugo Caselles-dupré is a research director and co-founder of Obvious Research, leading an ANR-funded lab (RENAISSANCE) at the intersection of generative AI and artistic creation in partnership with ISIR (Sorbonne Université). With a PhD in Machine Learning and a postdoc on teachability of autonomous agents, he blends deep academic expertise in representation and reinforcement learning with practical experience creating high-profile art-tech projects (Obvious’s Edmond de Belamy sold at Christie’s). Over a decade of experience spans founding collectives (Obvious, NFT Factory), industry internships (Deezer) and CIFRE collaboration with SoftBank Robotics, reflecting fluency in both theory and applied ML. He is recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 and actively builds teams—hiring interns, postdocs and engineers—to push generative models for image, video and sound. A mathematician at heart, he often frames ML problems through rigorous theoretical lenses while pursuing creative, cross-disciplinary outcomes.
