Max joined us from Google DeepMind where he led the Open-Ended Learning research team and pioneered numerous algorithms combining large-scale deep learning, reinforcement learning, and generative models.
Prior to that, Max was CEO and co-founder of Vision Factory, a company specialising in image recognition technology with deep learning. Vision Factory joined the Google family in 2014 to become part of Google DeepMind.
Max completed his undergraduate degree in engineering science at the University of Oxford and his PhD with the Visual Geometry Group at the University of Oxford, where he developed deep learning algorithms for image understanding. He is widely published in journals including Nature and Science with his work featuring in textbooks on machine learning across multiple application domains. Max together with the team at Isomorphic Labs is combining machine learning with computational biology to help unlock deeper scientific insights, faster breakthroughs, and life-changing medicines with an ultimate ambition to solve all disease.
