Senior🎓
Top SchoolKhurram Javed is a research scientist with a decade of experience building real-time learning systems, currently working in a small team at Keen Technologies under John Carmack. He specializes in reinforcement learning that can run on robots, blending academic rigor from a PhD and MSc at the University of Alberta with hands-on implementation. His background includes research stints at Mila with Yoshua Bengio and internships at EPFL, plus industry research roles at Huawei and university labs, giving him a strong bridge between theory and applied robotics. Khurram’s early work includes training math Olympiad students, reflecting an aptitude for teaching complex concepts and mentoring. He focuses on algorithms that learn from ongoing interaction rather than offline datasets, enabling adaptive, low-latency decision-making on embodied systems. Based in Montreal, he brings a rare mix of theoretical depth and practical robotics deployment experience.
