Marco Cusumano-Towner
Email / GitHub / Google Scholar / LinkedInI am a computer scientist specializing in probabilistic AI. I am currently a research scientist at Apple working with Vladlen Koltun on autonomous systems.
Background
I completed my PhD in EECS at MIT, where I was advised by Vikash Mansinghka and Josh Tenenbaum. During my PhD I created the Gen probabilistic programming system. Before MIT, I was a technical lead at an early stage molecular diagnostics startup backed by Sequoia Capital. I completed my MS in computer science at Stanford University and my BS in electrical engineeering and computer science at UC Berkeley, where I worked with Pieter Abbeel on probabilistic robotics. My graduate school research was funded in part by the NSF graduate research fellowship and the NDSEG graduate fellowship program.
