Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Smith is a Science Leader in AI with a decade of experience applying advanced machine learning and statistical methods to geophysics and marine operations, currently leading the British Antarctic Survey's AI Lab. He combines academic depth—a PhD from Cambridge and postdoctoral work at Caltech on large-scale, real-time earthquake detection—with practical AI deployments that optimise ship routing and autonomous marine planning to cut carbon emissions. His work spans physics-informed neural networks, neural operators, Stein variational inference and normalizing flows, and has delivered systems that process hundreds of terabytes of continuous data for rapid seismic association and location. Notably, he translates cutting-edge research into operational tools for vessels like RRS Sir David Attenborough, aligning scientific innovation with the UK’s NetZero goals.
