My research interests are in machine learning, with a current focus on understanding and improving the architecture and training of large-scale models for language and representation learning. I am also broadly interested in understanding machine learning from a theoretical perspective.
Over the past decade, I have also spent time in industry; I have been a Visiting Scientist at Google Research, and a senior quant and founding member of an algorithmic trading team at the hedge fund Engineers Gate. Since 2019 I have been a Principal Research Scientist, and then an Amazon Scholar, working in Amazon’s Search org.
