Jordi Orri is a Head of Machine Learning and tech founder with a Cambridge PhD and a decade of experience building ML-driven products for sustainable materials and energy applications. He has led a £2.5M industrial research programme and scaled ML teams while previously taking Amphicolor from PoC to product with full-stack production deployments that cut operational errors from 70% to 1%. As co-founder and former CTO at a VC-backed startup, he translated materials science into commercial biotech solutions (PFAS alternatives) and secured grant and investor backing. His research at Cambridge produced high-impact publications and open-source tools for multidimensional electron microscopy, and he improved testing infrastructure on notable scientific repos like hyperspy. Jordi blends deep domain knowledge in physics and chemistry with hands-on engineering (FastAPI, NextJS, AWS, Docker) and a track record of automating legacy processes to create digital twins and synthetic data at scale. He is equally comfortable supervising graduate researchers and shipping production ML systems that accelerate market entry and scientific discovery.
