Vítor Lourenço is a London-based Senior Applied Scientist with 11 years of experience translating cutting-edge ML research into production at companies from startups to Amazon. He combines a PhD-level background in computer science with hands-on expertise across the ML lifecycle—research, development, deployment—and has shipped large-scale remote-sensing and policy-enforcement systems that processed terabytes weekly. His work spans neural-symbolic integration, knowledge representation, graph neural networks and explainable AI, and includes a record of patent filings and academic publications. Notably, he built widely used research software (HKpy) at IBM and led Brazil-scale cropland and deforestation monitoring products that outpaced governmental detection. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic researcher who bridges interdisciplinary teams to deliver measurable impact.
