About Me
AI Research Scientist
I am an AI Research Scientist at DRW, where I am building and scaling an internal AI research organization. My work focuses on developing deep learning models across multiple modalities, including natural language, computer vision, time series, and tabular data, with applications to real-world decision-making systems.
Previously, I worked at Amazon, where I contributed to the development of large language models powering Rufus, Amazon’s shopping assistant launched in 2023 and now used by millions of customers.
Before entering industry, I was a research scientist in academia, working at the intersection of physics-based numerical modeling and data-driven deep learning methods. My research focused on simulating complex systems such as weather dynamics governed by fluid mechanics and cloud microphysics driven by particle interactions.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2017) and a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
