Tim Brooks is a research scientist with nine years of deep experience in AI and a PhD from UC Berkeley, currently advancing generative models at Meta after recent stints at DeepMind and OpenAI. He co-led research on Sora, OpenAI’s video generation model, and has a track record of pioneering video generation work dating back to NVIDIA internships. Tim blends academic rigor with product-focused engineering, having applied AI to Pixel camera systems at Google and shipped research as member of technical staff. He brings cross‑company perspective from top labs and industry, moving ideas from prototype to scalable research systems. An early background in photography — including a National Geographic competition win and a high‑school photography business — gives him a unique visual sensibility that informs his work on video and image models.
