Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiam Fedus is a founder and research-driven engineering leader with 12 years of experience at the intersection of deep learning and product-grade AI systems. He helped create ChatGPT as an early RL contributor at OpenAI, later leading post-training research that shipped major model families, and now co-founded Periodic Labs to accelerate science and engineering. His background spans top-tier research labs—Google Brain and MILA—grounded in a physics-first education from MIT and Cambridge and a PhD in computer science focused on generative planning for RL. Liam combines hands-on model R&D with product delivery experience, unusually fluent in both evaluation/data engineering and post-training model optimization.
