- Deep, practical experience with large language models, transformers, and deep neural networks in real-world applications
- Strong background in statistical and ML methods across large-scale, high-dimensional data
- Proven ability to produce high-impact research in academia or industry
- Advanced programming skills (Python, C , PyTorch, TensorFlow)
