Ilya Orson Sandoval

Hello there!

I am an AI Researcher at American Express in London, working on transformer-based foundation models for transactional data and fraud prevention.

I hold a PhD from Imperial College London, where I studied reinforcement learning and Neural ODEs for process optimization and autonomous control. Along the way, I worked on reinforcement learning for cyber defence at The Alan Turing Institute.

Before that, I worked in data science and ML engineering across energy trading and supply chains. My roots are in theoretical and computational physics. Check out my interactive cyberpunk chaos simulator!
