Andrew (Drew) Jaegle
I'm a founding Member of Technical Staff at Project Prometheus, where I work on AI for the physical world.
Previously, I was Head of AI at Mirage (formerly Captions), where we made compelling, expressive video creation accessible through generative AI. Before that, I worked as a Research Scientist at (Google) DeepMind, where I developed the Perceiver family of architectures, generative models for music and creative tools (Lyria, Dream Track, Music AI Sandbox), and generative models for behavior and physical systems.
I worked on computer vision and computational neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, where I did a PhD in the GRASP Lab with Kostas Daniilidis and a postdoc with Nicole Rust. While at Penn, I had the privilege to spend time in the labs of Diego Contreras and Maria Geffen and with the Computational Neuroscience Initiative. During my PhD, I spent two wonderful summers at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, working with Michael Black and Javier Romero. I worked on consciousness and attention at the City University of New York with Tony Ro and studied philosophy, music composition, and mathematics at Texas A&M University.
