Platon Karpov is a Sr. Machine Learning Engineer in New York with nine years of experience bridging astrophysics, high-performance computing, and production ML for finance and healthcare. Trained as an astrophysicist with a PhD from UC Santa Cruz, he pioneered physics-informed ML for turbulence in core-collapse supernovae, open-sourcing an ML-to-Fortran integration pipeline (Sapsan) used to embed PyTorch models in legacy hydrodynamics codes. At Provectus he leads teams productionalizing GenAI, specializing in LLM research, tuning, continuous evaluation, RAG systems and hybrid knowledge-graph integrations. Equally comfortable on GPUs and supercomputers, he combines deep scientific modeling experience with pragmatic engineering to turn complex physics and regulatory use-cases into reliable, auditable ML deployments.
