Raul Garreta Tompson
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioI'm a tech entrepreneur, passionate about Artificial Intelligence (AI), with extensive experience in Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Robotics.
I started in Machine Learning back in 2005, building an artificial Go player with Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning. That was ten years before AlphaGo used the same principles :)
Then worked on a bunch of companies including programming video games and implementing firmware for implantable medical devices.
In 2007 I started lecturing Machine Learning and NLP as a professor at the Computer Science Institute of UDELAR for 9 years.
In 2009 I co-founded Tryolabs, Python dev shop specialized in building products with AI.
In 2013 I co-authored with PhD Guillermo Moncecchi a technical book about an introduction to applied Machine Learning with Python programming language.
In 2014 I founded and led MonkeyLearn to make Machine Learning and NLP accessible to all companies and users. I raised a total of $4.2m from top tier Venture Capital and angel investors in Silicon Valley. I led all R&D and business operations, selling our product to top companies in the US.
In 2020 I finished my master thesis in Artificial Intelligence, "Data Efficient Deep Learning Models for Text Classification", where I compared multiple state of the art models, including language models.
In 2022 I exited MonkeyLearn to Medallia and joined as Sr Director leading AI research and development.
I'm an active investor, I invest in public markets but also in private companies, particularly tech startups and software product companies. I'm also LP in two venture capital funds, Uncork Capital and Garuda Ventures.
Currently researching and building on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics. -

Julie Greicius
Associate Dean for Communications and Alumni Affairs, School of Engineering - External Relations
BioJulie Greicius is Associate Dean of Communications and Alumni Affairs for Stanford Engineering. She joined the school in early 2023 and leads strategic communications, media relations, alumni engagement, and productions including the school's podcast, The Future of Everything. She led communications and events for Stanford Engineering's centennial in 2025, a multiyear effort culminating in a yearlong celebration, including production of the school's first history book, videos, website, social media, a showcase and celebration on the school's birthday attended by more than 3,000 members of the community, and speaker events featuring alumni Jensen Huang and Sergey Brin. The full body of award-winning work is at engineering100.stanford.edu.
Her career with Stanford began in 2006, when she joined Stanford Children's Health as a freelance writer, eventually becoming editorial director, overseeing brand voice, messaging, and digital platforms through a major rebrand. She joined Stanford Medicine in 2018 as a media relations manager and went on to serve as Senior Director of External Communications, leading media relations, crisis communications, and issue management through the COVID-19 pandemic. She has contributed regularly to Stanford Medicine magazine and other university publications. She holds an MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia University. -

Arash Hamzehlou
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioA graduate student at Stanford University, focusing on artificial intelligence for autonomous cyber-physical systems. Arash's current interests span embedded/edge AI for real-time systems including real-time inference and scheduling, resource-aware model optimization (quantization, pruning, distillation), and autonomous decision-making and control, including learning-based control and planning (MPC, safe/model-based RL, offline RL, POMDPs, TAMP, and world models). He is currently deepening broad AI studies while refining his research direction.
Arash’s professional background includes developing real-time, high-fidelity simulations and digital twins for NASA’s Space Launch System, spanning mission-critical hardware and RF communication subsystems. He plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science to build trustworthy intelligent systems that minimize human intervention across diverse real-world applications.
