Hi! I’m Patrick, a scientist and engineer focused on building AI for humanity. I founded and lead the applied AI research team at Ai2, where we develop large-scale, multi-modal foundation models for scientific, humanitarian, and environmental applications. If you’re excited to advance the state of the art, feel free to reach out, we’re always hiring research scientists and AI engineers - see open roles at https://allenai.org/careers.

I host a monthly seminar at Ai2 on applied AI, and many of these talks are available on YouTube. Previously I worked on brain decoding for patient populations and streaming computer vision systems (JHU APL spinout). I also consult for hedge funds on the future of AI. I hold a Ph.D. in neuroscience, an M.S. in Logic, and a B.A. from McGill. I live in the majestic Pacific Northwest with my wife and our two young boys.
