Soheil Kolouri
Soheil leads the MINT Lab at Vanderbilt, where he's an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. Before academia he ran DARPA-scale AI programs at HRL Laboratories, serving as PI on Learning with Less Labels and leading nearly $15M in research as principal investigator. His work on optimal transport for machine learning won an NSF CAREER Award, and he holds over 20 US patents. As CTO, he brings a decade of shipping systems under hard real-world constraints — latency, labels, compute, and everything you don't have enough of.

Hamed Pirsiavash
Hamed is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis and one of the most-cited researchers in efficient computer vision, with 13,000+ citations and an Associate Editor seat at IEEE TPAMI. He trained at MIT with Antonio Torralba and earned his Ph.D. at UC Irvine, and his students now build AI at Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Waymo. As CSO, he sets the research agenda at [Company]: making large models small enough to run anywhere, years before the rest of the field gets there.
