Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacopo Chevallard is an AI and research leader with 11+ years turning academic astrophysics into production-grade products, from tools used in JWST programs to scaling generative AI assistants at Quivr (YC W24). He bridges deep technical expertise and strategic impact—authoring major grant wins (e.g., France 2030) and defining AI roadmaps while leading multidisciplinary teams across R&D, product and partnerships. As a lecturer at Sciences Po and ESSEC he trains leaders to think critically about technology’s societal effects, reflecting his active engagement in tech-for-good and civic tech ecosystems. His background as a postdoc at Oxford and ESA founder of widely used data-analysis tools gives him rare fluency in complex observational data, model-driven research, and practical deployment. Always oriented toward public benefit, he prioritizes building AI that strengthens collective intelligence rather than enabling techno-authoritarian risks.
