Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarius Wiggert is a Staff AI Research Scientist in Berkeley with a decade of experience at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, and climate tech. He builds and leads small, high-impact research teams, having driven multi-modal protein foundation model work and programmable-biology efforts while now innovating in AI×Biology at Biohub. His PhD research introduced a low-power paradigm for operating floating vessels—“going with the flow”—that underpins applications like autonomous seaweed farms and contributed to raising research funding and building fielded prototypes. Marius combines rigorous academic publication (11+ peer-reviewed papers) with product-minded engineering, having scaled scientific simulation systems across hundreds of VMs and advised startups from early technical build to go-to-market. He has hands-on experience across VC, startups, and moonshot labs, enabling him to translate foundational research into deployable climate and biotech solutions. Fluent in bridging disciplines, he pairs deep technical chops with practical impact in real-world ocean and biological systems.
