SUMMARY:ORC Seminar: Scaling AI Capabilities in Mathematical Reasoning
LOCATION:Building E51 145\, 70 MEMORIAL DR\, Cambridge\, MA 02142
DESCRIPTION:Theophane Weber\n\nResearch Scientist\nGoogle\n\nAbstract: TBD
 \n\nBio: Théophane Weber is a Research Scientist and Team Lead in Gemini 
 at Google DeepMind\, where he focuses on RL science\, LLM reasoning and A
 I-based scientific discovery. His research interests span sequential deci
 sion-making\, reinforcement learning\, generative models\, probabilistic 
 inference\, inference-time scaling\, and planning. At DeepMind\, he was a
  key contributor to the IMO and DeepThink efforts\, co-inventing the trai
 ning technique behind the Gemini model that achieved a gold medal at the 
 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad. He is also a member of Project 
 Big Sleep\, which discovered the first real-world software vulnerability 
 using AI (late 2024)\, pre-empted an in-the-wild zero-day exploit (July 2
 025)\, and demonstrated AI’s viability for cybersecurity by finding over 
 20 vulnerabilities across open-source software.\n\nPrior to DeepMind\, he
  was at Lyric Labs (acquired by Analog Devices). He earned his PhD and MS
  from the MIT Operations Research Center (ORC)\, where he was co-advised 
 by David Gamarnik and John Tsitsiklis for his PhD and Jérémie Gallien for
  his MS. His doctoral research explored the intersection of statistical p
 hysics\, machine learning and computer science\, following earlier work o
 n dynamic control of queueing systems.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/f44
