Viren Jain is a Research Scientist at Google Research, where he leads the Connectomics team.

With partners at HHMI, Max Planck, Harvard, and elsewhere, his team has achieved several milestones in synapse-resolution brain mapping of fly, human, bird, and fish brains, developed Neuroglancer (widely used software for visualizing multidimensional data in the browser) and TensorStore (infrastructure for managing petascale multidimensional data, including checkpoints of nearly all large-scale LLMs trained at Google), produced the first whole vertebrate brain neuron activity prediction benchmark, introduced LICONN with ISTA (the first verified methodology for optical connectomics), and published numerous ML algorithms and advances for interpreting 3d images (including Flood-Filling Networks and SegCLR).
