Max Welling (born 1968) is a Dutch computer scientist in machine learning at the University of Amsterdam.[1] In August 2017, the university spin-off Scyfer BV, co-founded by Welling, was acquired by Qualcomm.[2] He has since then served as a Vice President of Technology at Qualcomm Netherlands.[3] He is also currently the Lead Scientist of the new Microsoft Research Lab in Amsterdam.

Welling received his PhD in physics with a thesis on quantum gravity under the supervision of Nobel laureate Gerard 't Hooft (1998)[4] at the Utrecht University. He has published over 250 peer-reviewed articles in machine learning, computer vision, statistics and physics,[5] and has most notably invented variational autoencoders (VAEs), together with Diederik P Kingma.
