Jack Cook
Hello! I’m Jack, and I’m a first-year PhD student at MIT EECS studying machine learning for systems. I previously studied at the University of Oxford while supported by a Rhodes scholarship, and I’ve worked on LLMs at Modal, The New York Times, and NVIDIA.
I hold master’s degrees in computer science, neuroscience, and social science, and I used to be the director of HackMIT. A long time ago, I was on the founding team of Mixer (formerly Beam), acquired by Microsoft in 2018.
I occasionally blog about my work. If you’d like to be notified when I publish my next post, enter your email below.
