Our Team

DeepMine is led by a world-class team of AI researchers, mining engineers, and visionaries who share a common belief: that artificial intelligence can solve any problem, including ones that are primarily mechanical in nature.

DSC

Dr. Sarah Chen

Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Former VP of AI Research at a leading tech company. PhD in Deep Learning from MIT. 15 years experience applying neural networks to problems that don't require neural networks.

MT

Marcus Thorvaldsson

Chief Mining Officer

Third-generation Greenlandic mining engineer with expertise in Arctic mineral extraction. Pioneered the concept of 'AI-first drilling' after reading a blog post about machine learning.

DRP

Dr. Rajesh Patel

Chief AI Officer

Previously led autonomous vehicle research. Holds 47 patents in artificial intelligence. Convinced that if AI can drive cars, it can definitely operate mining equipment at 15km depth.

EV

Elena Volkov

VP of Geological AI

Geophysicist turned machine learning engineer. Published over 60 papers on using transformer models for seismic analysis. Still not entirely sure why transformers work.

JO

James O'Brien

Chief Technology Officer

Serial entrepreneur with 3 successful AI startups. Expertise in scaling deep learning infrastructure. Learned about mining geology from a 6-hour YouTube documentary.

DYT

Dr. Yuki Tanaka

Head of AI Safety

Ensuring our AI systems dig in the right direction. PhD in AI Alignment. Primary responsibility is making sure the machines stop when we tell them to.

Join Our Mission

We're always looking for talented individuals who believe that the solution to physical engineering challenges is more neural networks. If you have experience in AI, machine learning, or are willing to learn on the job while operating multi-million dollar mining equipment, we want to hear from you.
