Sr. Strategic Researcher Engagement Manager
"THE CONNECTOR" As a computer scientist, educator, and developer relations leader, I thrive at the intersection of academia and industry—building bridges that accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and healthcare technology. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about connecting diverse communities: - Academia and Industry: I facilitate collaborations that unite world-class researchers, students, and industry partners to solve real-world problems and translate cutting-edge research into impactful solutions. - Research and Practice: I help transform theoretical advances into practical applications, ensuring that new AI technologies are robust, responsible, and accessible. - Technical and Non-Technical Audiences: As an experienced public speaker, I demystify complex AI concepts for stakeholders at every level, fostering shared understanding and enthusiasm for innovation. My experience spans leading strategic research engagement at NVIDIA, mentoring the next generation of AI professionals as a professor, and partnering with organizations worldwide to co-create solutions that advance both scientific discovery and business goals. I believe the most meaningful progress happens in the “in-between," where disciplines, sectors, and perspectives converge. If you’re interested in building alliances, advancing responsible AI, or exploring collaborative opportunities at the forefront of technology, let’s connect! I’m always eager to bridge new worlds and help shape the future of AI together.
