Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Buckler is an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and hardware-aware engineer with 11 years of experience building end-to-end systems at the intersection of generative AI, computer vision, and hardware acceleration. He holds a PhD from Cornell where his thesis on hardware-accelerated deep learning for vision informed production work at Amazon (robot perception) and technology transfer into industry. As founder of three companies including Soundry AI, he shipped a state-of-the-art text-to-sound generator that bridges deep learning research and real creative workflows for music producers. At AI2’s Incubator he advises founders on foundational model training, generative audio, and accelerator-aware model design, combining deep technical breadth with startup and fundraising experience. His background spans VLSI and architecture (AMD, UMass) to open research in diffusion/GAN audio, reflecting a rare ability to co-design algorithms and the hardware that runs them. Outside work he channels the same creative engineering mindset into DJing and producing electronic music, a practical proving ground for his audio ML work.
