Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTrefor Evans is a founder and technical leader with 11 years of experience building probabilistic machine learning and scalable inference systems, currently serving as Co-Founder & CTO of Deepwater Robotics and Co-Founder & Chief Scientist of Infera AI. He holds a PhD from the University of Toronto and applies expertise in Gaussian processes, learning differential equations, and Bayesian inference to real-world optimization and autonomy problems. At Deepwater he’s designing fleets of compact AUVs to deliver sub-meter resolution ocean surveys at global scale, and at Infera he focuses on high-dimensional constrained system optimization. His background spans academic research, teaching, and applied engineering—including aero-structural design and numeric methods—giving him a rare combination of theoretical depth and hands-on systems experience. Colleagues note his knack for turning complex probabilistic models into deployable solutions for large-scale environmental and industrial challenges.
