Hi! I’m an A.I. researcher, academic, and entrepreneur, based in San Francisco.

• In 2026 I co-founded Elorian (with Andrew Dai and Yinfei Yang), where we are building frontier visual thinking models
• From 2021-2026 I was an assistant professor at Harvard and PI of the SAFR AI Lab, where our research focused on problems in data-centric AI and AI safety.
• From 2025-2026 I was on sabbatical at Google as a research scientist (Gemini Data core team, Gemini 2.5)
• From 2016-2021 I was co-founder & CTO of Welligence. After bootstrapping to 60+ FTEs, in 2024 we sold a minority stake in the business. Since then the business has continued to grow significantly, which I am proud to support as a board member.
• In 2020 I received my PhD in machine learning from UPenn, under the guidance of the legendary Michael Kearns and Aaron Roth
• I got my undergrad degree at Harvard where I got a crash course in pure math through math 55, in startups as an intern at the device company WHOOP, and in squash as a benchwarmer on a perennial collegiate powerhouse. I also got to hang out with my twin brother which was pretty cool.

If you want to get in touch, I’m seth at elorian dot ai.
