Joseph Tatro is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with an Applied Mathematics PhD and eight years of experience bridging geometric theory and practical computer vision. He led a DARPA-funded Geometries of Learning effort, directing research into trustworthiness, diffusion-based defenses, and geometry-aware neural architectures for 3D scenes and meshes. His work blends analysis of parameter-space geometry and data manifolds with hands-on engineering—building custom convolution functions and network layers and improving NeRF training pipelines for airborne imagery. Comfortable in Python, MATLAB, C++, Java, and PyTorch/OpenCV, he pairs rigorous academic research (including a NeurIPS paper) with mentorship experience and industry delivery. Based in Boston, he brings a rare mix of theoretical depth and applied system-building that surfaces in both adversarial-robustness defenses and generative-AI research.
