About

I’m Thomas Markovich, a research scientist working on machine learning. I’m currently a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Block, and before that I was a Staff Research Scientist at Twitter, working at Twitter scale. Earlier I built knowledge graphs and machine reasoning systems at Forge.AI, and contributed to a probabilistic programming language at Gamalon.

I came to machine learning through physics. My PhD is in Chemical Physics from Harvard, where I worked on methods for correlated harmonic bath models and the treatment of long-range van der Waals interactions, mostly by writing high performance numerical code in C and Fortran. Before that I studied physics and mathematics at the University of Houston. Publications are on Google Scholar, and the longer version of my background is on my resume.
