I lead the mid-training team at Reflection AI, focusing on science of data and scaling.

Previously I was a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and on rotation at OpenAI, working on "Physics of Large Language Models". 

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from UC San Diegor. My thesis focused on algorithms for the automated design of efficient and robust Deep Learning models in the vision and NLP domains.  Please see the "Research" tab for an overview of my research interests.  My research has been awarded the 2019 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship.
