I’M CAMERON WITKOWSKI

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. HERE YOU CAN READ ABOUT ME, CHECK OUT SOME COOL PROJECTS
I’VE DONE, BROWSE MY PUBLICATIONS, AND READ SOME OF MY CREATIVE WRITING.


I WAS BORN IN AJAX AND GREW UP IN SUBURBAN WHITBY, ON.

At 18, I moved to Toronto to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the Engineering
Science program at the University of Toronto, specializing in Robotics, and am
now completing a MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In work, study,
and leisure, my ultimate passion is for life—real and artificial.

MASTERS THESIS

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF MORPHOGENESIS

Learn more

I built a simple mathematical formalism that captures a wide range of problems
in developmental biology, and that enables precise analysis of questions in
embryology:

 * How do cells know when to stop dividing?
 * How does differentiation govern structure?
 * How does symmetry breaking occur?
 * Etc.

To demonstrate the ease and efficacy of the formalism, I built a Python engine
to simulate developmental trajectories and trained an equivariant neural network
to learn cellular interaction dynamics. The video on the left shows one
simulation after the network learned to form a spherical cellular shell.

Inspired by Conway’s Game of Life, neural cellular automata, and Alphafold, this
project aims to answer how complex, 3D structures can form by simple, local
interaction rules.


IN 2023, I FOUNDED THE


SOCIETY FOR AGI




We attract passionate, curious, and freethinking students & future leaders from
all disciplines to explore cutting-edge ideas, build cool stuff, and participate
in the most important conversation of our age.

After one year, we’ve grown from just two or three members to over 45, with
members at the University of Toronto and the California Institute of Technology.

I RECENTLY APPEARED ON THE MACHINE LEARNING STREET TALK PODCAST WITH MY FRIEND
AMAN BHARGAVA.




DRONES TO ENSURE NUCLEAR PLANT SAFETY IN AN EMERGENCY

 

For my 4th year Capstone design project teamed with Ben Agro, Jerry Chen, and
Connor Lee we designed drones using a wide range of hardware and software tools
under the theme of Nuclear Power Plant safety.

EMERGENT DYNAMICS OF PROBABILISTIC NEURONS

LOGIC AS SPACE

A poem rethinking the realm of thought.

SEXUALLY SELECTED COMPUTER CODE

Is DNA to life what code is to computers?


UNDERGRADUATE THESIS


INTEGRATING A BIOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF TRANSCRIPTION WITH AN ENGINEERING & AI
BACKGROUND, I PRESENT A NOVEL APPROACH TO COMPREHENSIVELY MODEL GENE EXPRESSION
USING CUTTING-EDGE MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES.

EXPERIMENTAL DATA

I collected and preprocessed over 330 million supervised examples sourced from
GTEx cell-specific gene expression experiments.

MODEL DESIGN

I designed a new model for this data taking full advantage of mechanisms known
to be important for transcription.

TRAINING & TESTING

I trained my model repeatedly, keeping close track of its validation performance
in order to optimize its architecture.
