Jean Du Terrail is a founding AI research scientist with 11 years of experience translating deep learning research into applied products across defense, healthcare, and agriculture. He holds a PhD in computer vision (CIFRE with Safran/CNRS) and a Master's in applied mathematics from CentraleSupélec, blending rigorous theory with hands-on engineering. After a progression from research engineer roles into leadership at Owkin and a brief stint on Datadog’s LLM post-training team, he now builds foundation models for plants at Living Models. Jean is skilled at taking frontier research from prototype to production and has repeatedly led small teams through that transition. Based in Greater Paris, he brings uncommon domain breadth—object detection in defense to medical ML and now agricultural foundation models—coupled with a math-first approach to model design.
