I (ie Alex Lang) am a physics PhD currently working for Motional. I am team lead of the Machine Learning Products team in the Santa Monica office where we focus on applications of deep learning to autonomous driving.
I have previously worked on a variety of research topics such as physics, computational neuroscience, machine learning and theoretical biophysics. As an outsider, that probably looks like a jumble of topics, but I swear, there is a theme! In my research, I apply techniques (both conceptual and mathematical) from statistical physics to a variety of problems. Statistical physics is the domain of physics that applies to large systems (number of “particles”
