Summary
👤
SeniorTom Andersson is a Senior Research Engineer with nine years of experience building and deploying AI systems for environmental sciences, currently at Google DeepMind where he works on ML-driven weather forecasting and sustainability initiatives. He holds an MEng from Cambridge and has led award-winning projects at the British Antarctic Survey, including IceNet (Nature Communications) and work that earned the WMO Young Scientist of the Year recognition. His joint-first author role on GenCast (Nature) and a deployed tropical cyclone model in partnership with the U.S. National Hurricane Center demonstrate a rare track record of moving research into operational forecasting. Tom combines deep ML research—neural processes, active learning, sensor placement—with production engineering, open-source tooling (DeepSensor), and cross-disciplinary collaboration with universities and policy partners. He has experience winning grant funding, supervising graduate projects, and communicating science through media and policy forums, indicating strengths beyond pure technical delivery. Notably, his work has been both academically influential and practically adopted by national weather services.
