Hi! I’m Patrick. I am interested in advancing scientific and humanitarian goals through large-scale applied AI. Currently Founder/CEO of a new mission-led public benefit corporation. Previously, Director of Applied AI at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2). At Ai2, I founded OlmoEarth. Before that, I led Skylight’s ML team. 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. Earlier, I helped create a medical clinic in Haiti which you should check out if you are in Fond-des-Blancs! 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.
