Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatanya Horowitz is a founder and CTO with 11+ years building applied AI and robotics companies, best known for founding AMP to transform the economics of recycling through automated material identification and sorting. He combines deep theoretical expertise in controls, POMDPs, optimal control, and formal methods with hands-on commercialization of robotics and industrial automation systems. Trained at Caltech (PhD-level work) and a multi-degree alumnus of University of Colorado, he has bridged academia and industry across DARPA programs and startups, advising on robotics and energy projects. Matanya’s work spans generative AI, deep learning, computer vision, and practical systems engineering—designing hardware and software that lower operating costs for material recovery facilities. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate advanced mathematics (sums-of-squares, semidefinite programming, Lyapunov theory) into robust, deployable sorting and manufacturing solutions.
