Connor's story

Connor interned with The Not Company, a startup that combines molecular biochemistry, food science, and artificial intelligence to generate recipes that match the flavor, scent, and textural profiles of traditional food.

The Not Co is a startup that makes vegan food using machine learning. Located in QuilĂ­n, Santiago de Chile, The Not Company combines molecular biochemistry, food science, and artificial intelligence to generate recipes that match the flavor, scent, and textural profiles of traditional foods (those that use dairy, eggs, and meat) but that are made solely of plant-based products. I worked in their Machine Learning Research Group. My project was focused on natural language generation and entailed many hours of coding.

"Santiago de Chile will forever hold a special place in my heart, as much for the volcanoes I hike and sand dunes I sled down as for the wonderful friendships I made. The Not Company invited me in and consistently made sure I was enjoying my time in Chile as much as possible"
