Patrick Beukema
Hi! I’m Patrick. I am interested in advancing scientific and humanitarian goals through large-scale applied AI. Currently CoFounder/CEO @ stealth. Previously, Director of Applied AI at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2). At Ai2, I founded OlmoEarth, an open AI-based earth intelligence platform. Before that, I led Skylight’s ML team, a platform for AI-enabled ocean activity monitoring. Before Ai2, I worked on early versions of NLP/CV models (BERT era) and RNN/CNN hybrids for neural decoding/brain machine interfaces at MindX, an AI/neuroscience startup. I hold a Ph.D. in neuroscience (University of Pittsburgh), an M.S. in Logic (CMU), and a B.A. in Philosophy (McGill). I live in the majestic Pacific Northwest with my wife and our two young boys.
