Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Grathwohl is a machine learning researcher and engineer with a decade of experience building deep learning systems across industry and academia. He holds a PhD from the University of Toronto and has contributed to high-impact AI teams at DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, blending research rigor with production-minded engineering. His work spans self-supervised vision, variational video representations, RL for healthcare, and core SLAM and perception systems—skills he applied earlier as a founder building a 6M-image moderation platform. Known for teaching and mentoring (including delivering a deep learning course at a national lab), he moves comfortably between publishing research and shipping robust models in production. Based in New York, he combines curiosity about unusual corners of ML (and a fondness for raccoons) with a pragmatic focus on scalable, real-world solutions.
