Summary
Zachary New is a Deep Learning Manager with 11 years of experience building production AI and computer vision systems, currently leading Deep Learning and Data Curation at Carbon Robotics from Seattle. He architected and operationalized the end-to-end ML pipeline behind the LaserWeeder—overseeing data collection, labeling, automated training, evaluation, model recommendation, and global deployment across three continents. Previously at PNNL he blended hands-on research in object detection, few-shot learning, explainability, and rare object localization with training workshops for scientists and government leaders, bridging research and applied impact. With a master's in mathematics, he brings a strong theoretical foundation to practical ML engineering and a demonstrated talent for turning complex scientific problems into robust, field-deployed solutions. An under-the-radar strength is his full-stack ownership of ML workflows—from curated datasets to models running on hardware in agricultural environments.
