Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hutcheon is a computational physicist and machine-learning-driven researcher with nine years' experience applying numerical optimization, DFT and quantum mechanics to accelerate discovery of superconductors. Currently a Research Consultant at Intellectual Ventures’ Deep Science Fund, he combines core scientific software development (core developer of QUEST, author of TOPGRID) with ML models to hunt for novel high-temperature superconductors. His PhD and publications from Cambridge demonstrate a track record in high-throughput prediction and quantum Monte Carlo methods, while earlier placements include algorithm work for CERN detector upgrades. Based in the High Peak, England, he pairs rigorous academic training with practical engineering—also finding creative outlets as a video game developer and music producer, hinting at a knack for systems thinking and interdisciplinary creativity.
