DJ Patil is an entrepreneur, investor, scientist, and leader in public policy. He has held senior roles in industry, academia, and government and his work has been featured in two Michael Lewis books.

Notable early stage investments include Figma, Confluent, Ola in India, Monte Carlo, Chronosphere, Sumologic, Peoplehood, RelateIQ, and Rebellion Defense.

He is a board member for Devoted Health where he was a member of the founding team and CTO with the mission to build a health care system that takes care of every member like they were family. Previously he led the product teams at RelateIQ which was acquired by Salesforce, and was founding board member for Crisis Text Line which works to use new technologies to provide on demand mental and crisis support. At LinkedIn he was Chief Scientist, Chief Security Officer and led the data efforts which included recommendation systems like People You May Know, Who Viewed My Profile, and Jobs You May Like; new technologies like Kafka; co-coining the term Data Scientist. 

Dr. Patil public policy work includes being appointed by President Obama to be the first U.S. Chief Data Scientist where his efforts led to the establishment of nearly 40 Chief Data Officer roles across the Federal government. Establishing new health care programs including the Precision Medicine Initiative (now the NIH All of Us program) and the Cancer Moonshot, new criminal justice reforms including the Data-Driven Justice and Police Data Initiatives that cover more than 94 million Americans, as well as leading the national data efforts. He also has been active in national security and for his efforts was awarded by Secretary Carter the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service which is the highest honor the department bestows on a civilian. 

As a member of the faculty at the University of Maryland, his research focused on nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory and he helped start a major research initiative on numerical weather prediction. As an AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow for the Department of Defense, Dr. Patil directed new efforts to leverage social network analysis and the melding of computational and social sciences to anticipate emerging threats to the US. He has also co-chaired a major review of US efforts to prevent bioweapons proliferation in Central Asia and co-founded the Iraqi Virtual Science Library (IVSL). And if you’ve read this far, he barely graduated from high school because of his math grades, but lucked out because of his local community college.

9 years ago I posted this card that I kept in my White House notebook as a reminder of how we were going to maximally serve the public. It's taken off in a way I never expected. From stickers to posters, I'm thrilled it has helped so many. Here's the backstory of how the card came to be: https://lnkd.in/gJxpJSMe

Investor, entrepreneur, public policy, former U.S Chief Data Scientist

I really would love to see this as a feature film! Especially as a mathematician, this is close to my heart. Also if you want to be inspired watch The Man Who Knew Infinity!

AI Mathematician, Data Scientist, Engineer and Statistician.

ANNOUNCING 🎬 The team behind The Man Who Knew Infinity is reuniting to honor Maryam Mirzakhani.

I am thrilled to announce MARYAM: The Mirror and the Map, a feature film about the brilliant Maryam Mirzakhani—the first woman to win the Fields Medal.

Writer/director Matt Brown, with Manjul Bhargava and I as associate producers, are reuniting for this project. We spent years ensuring Ramanujan’s math was portrayed authentically in The Man Who Knew Infinity (starring Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons), but math history didn't stop in 1920. It is time for the next chapter.

Maryam’s life was a cinematic arc of resilience. As a girl in war-torn Iran, she sketched math on a fogged bathroom mirror to block out the chaos—sketches that eventually turned into the geometry of curved surfaces that revolutionized the field.

This project is deeply personal. Manjul Bhargava stood on stage with Maryam in Seoul in 2014 when they both won the Fields Medal, a historic moment for mathematics. We aren't just telling a story; we are honoring an icon and a friend.

Developed at the Infinity Arts Foundation, the project is gathering momentum. I’m also proud to share that Axiom Math is championing the educational campaign, ensuring this story inspires the next generation through future university screenings.

Maryam belongs in culture, not just in textbooks.
