Senior🎓
Top SchoolTejas Kulkarni is a scientist and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience at the intersection of deep learning, reinforcement learning, probabilistic programming, and cognitive science. He holds a PhD from MIT where he developed "vision as inverse graphics" ideas and has driven research at DeepMind across computer vision, robotics, language, and simulation. As co-founder and CEO of Common Sense Machines he built 3D generative AI models and agent workflows for production-ready content from images, text, and sketches, and recently rejoined Google DeepMind as a scientist. His work blends theoretical insights into human cognition with practical systems for graphics, AR/VR and embodied agents, reflecting a rare combination of neuroscience-informed modeling and engineering rigor. Based in Cambridge, MA, he continues to push inverse graphics and neural rendering approaches for controllable 3D generation and decision-making. An early background shipping device drivers and neural network engineering at Qualcomm underpins his ability to move models from lab prototypes to deployed systems.
