Research Scientist

Dr Ben Chamberlain

Ben is a Research Scientist here in the AI & Robotics Institute at EIT. Ben previously held AI leadership roles at the biotechs Isomorphic Labs and Charm Therapeutics. He has also worked as a staff machine learning researcher at Twitter and was the Head of ML at ASOS.com for several years. His first role in ML was in the defence sector where he built a goat detector for forward operating bases during the Afghan war (not the first one), and some other things that are less idiosyncratic and more classified.

Ben has an ML PhD from Imperial College London, an eternal love for Oxford having completed his undergraduate degree in physics at Teddy Hall and did a bit of an MBA at Henley Management College.

After work, Ben enjoys playing and watching rugby and tennis.

Careers inAI & Robotics Institute

By applying and extending frontier AI and robotic methods, the AI & Robotics Institute hopes to accelerate breakthrough scientific discoveries. This work is driven by the aim of exploiting the rich potential of biomolecular foundation models in areas such as bacterial genomics and the structure and dynamics of enzymes. Another area of focus is combining advanced AI models with robotic systems to run AI-guided experiments, including building the data and computing infrastructure that supports them. This enables ideas to be generated, tested, and refined in a rigorous and repeatable fashion. These groundbreaking technologies are designed in such a way as to enable scaling and translation into sustainable solutions that change society. The AI & Robotics Institute is strengthened through its close collaboration with the University of Oxford, including via a Centre for Doctoral Training funded by EIT. Our experts work across disciplines and are supported by access to large-scale compute and rich datasets.

"I'm very excited about EIT because of this vision of attacking the problems end-to-end, starting from research to building a pipeline all the way to a product, to the way to deliver that product. It's a very unique vision and opportunity to be part of this whole cycle of delivery and impact. At EIT, AI researchers work hand-in-hand with domain scientists, ensuring that AI models are developed to address problems of societal value."
