Earned his PhD from UC Berkeley under Pieter Abbeel and Stefano Ermon. Created Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM, 2020), which revived and dramatically improved the diffusion-based approach to generative modeling. DDPM became the core technology behind Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Sora, and essentially all modern image and video generation systems. Joined Google Brain (now Google DeepMind) where he has continued advancing diffusion models and their applications to video generation.
