I am currently working as a Senior Staff Research Scientist and Manager at Google Cloud AI Research. My current work is motivated by the mission of democratizing AI and bringing it to the most impactful use cases, from Healthcare, Finance, Technology, Retail, Media, Manufacturing, and many other industries. Towards this goal, I focus on how to make AI more high-performance for the most-demanded data types, interpretable, trustable, data-efficient, robust and reliable. I led research projects that were launched as major Google Cloud products and yielded significant business impact.
Before joining Google, I was a Research Scientist at Baidu Silicon Valley AI Lab. I completed my PhD degree in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. I have co-authored more than 70 journal and conference publications.
