Bio

Professor at Northwestern with research in AI, ML and data science. Also Director, Master of Science in Analytics and of Center for Deep Learning. MLOps are my latest interest. Also a pretty successful entrepreneur; current gig a software startup in MLOps.

I am a professor at Northwestern University, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences. I am also Founding Director, Master of Science in Analytics and Director, Center for Deep Learning. From this it is clear that I know artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and analytics (modeling, methodologies, theoretical results). Yes, I understand and can come up with new mathematical equations, but I can also code them up if I can only find time to do it. Obviously, python is my language of choice, but I am also a good coder in scala and C++ (I used be doing a lot of coding in C and C++ back in my old days).

In the last one year I have developed keen interest and expertise in MLOps, including Kubernetes, Kubeflow and related aspects.

I can talk the language of finance, manufacturing, insurance, sports, airlines, and bioinformatics due to the numerous projects that I lead in these industries.

I also consider myself a successful entrepreneur (not serial). I have recently sold a company with more than 150 data scientists. I am now onto my next gig with a software company focusing on MLOps.

I love technology and follow it closely, especially the aspects related to artificial intelligence. I have a hard time holding back on buying all sort of gadgets and devices. Coming up with an artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithm that works well in practice, fixing a bug in my code, or exploring a new gadget are always a great satisfaction.
