The Vesuvius Challenge: Machine Learning on Carbonized Papyrus

Co-founded and funded the global open scientific prize that mobilized computer vision and 3D deep learning teams to detect hidden ink patterns in non-invasively scanned 3D CT volumes of Herculaneum scrolls sealed in 79 AD.

Model & Execution Context:3D U-Nets and Vision Transformers processing gigavoxel synchrotron X-ray tomographic volumes.

Scope & Limitations

Papyrus segmentation requires substantial manual inspection and geometric mesh flattening prior to virtual unrolling.

GitHub Copilot: Conception, Technical Architecture & Launch

Conceived and executive-led GitHub Copilot, pairing OpenAI Codex with IDE telemetry, context window assembly from local tabs, and low-latency inline code ghost-text completions used by millions of software developers.

Model & Execution Context:OpenAI Codex model running custom token-level streaming inference into Visual Studio Code extensions.

Scope & Limitations

Early versions could suggest code containing outdated security vulnerabilities or license incompatibilities without automated scanning.
