James Elmore

Hello, I’m James, a machine learning and mathematics researcher. I want to secure critical systems and make powerful technology reliable.

I recently graduated from William & Mary with a BS in Mathematics. My thesis explored computational techniques in algebraic graph theory, where I used integer linear programs and other techniques to construct a large number of novel strongly regular Cayley digraphs, including all examples up to 39 vertices.

I’ve also previously worked at MITRE on autonomous robotics and mission-data processing.

How AI Could Radically Change the Economy Soon
