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 a Distinguished Scientist at Microsoft Research AI4Science, based in Amsterdam.[4]

Welling received his PhD in physics with a thesis on quantum gravity under the supervision of Gerard 't Hooft (1998)[5] at the Utrecht University. He has published in machine learning, computer vision, statistics and physics,[6] and worked on variational autoencoders (VAEs) together with Durk Kingma.

In 2010 he shared with two authors an Koenderink Prize.[7] In 2025 Welling was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[8]
