Summary
Tony Chen is a research-focused machine learning engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in image processing, deep learning, and multimodal learning. Currently a Research Intern at Carnegie Mellon's Safe AI Lab, he concurrently contributed to ML-driven pathology subtyping at Columbia Irving Medical Center and led voxel-based plant reconstruction projects at Columbia Engineering. Tony combines rigorous academic performance (Computer Science at Columbia) with practical research delivery, including a NASA SBIR-related 3D modeling effort. He also co-founded The Hat Bazaar, raising over $50,000 to support animal rescues, demonstrating entrepreneurial drive and community impact beyond academia. Comfortable bridging academia and applied research, he brings a track record of shipping prototype systems that span 2D image to 3D reconstruction and multimodal models. Colleagues describe him as a curious, interdisciplinary researcher who pursues high-impact problems across bio, environmental, and safety-focused AI.
