Alex Lavaee

Hey there! 👋🏼 I'm Alex, an incoming software engineer @ Microsoft. I'm interested in solving problems in AI/ML infra (ML optimization, distributed systems), AI4Science (scientific discovery), and robotics (world models + perception systems).

I completed my data science undergrad @ BU where I was fortunate to work with Prof Margrit Betke at the Image and Video Computing Group on a 3D self-supervised representation learning model for understanding human motion. 🏃🏼‍♂️ During my final year of undergrad I had the opportunity to work with Prof Tomas Kirchhausen @ Harvard Medical School where I developed, DINO3D, a 3D self-supervised representation learning model for understanding the molecular and cellular world. 🧬

Previously, I interned as a SWE, MLE, and data scientist at Microsoft, Boeing, Edwards Lifesciences (where I developed an FDA processing model for severe aortic stenosis detection @ The Applied Machine Learning Group), and AI startups (including Themis AI, an MIT CSAIL spinoff backed by Prof Daniela Rus), gaining hands-on experience in developing scalable AI products.

Finally, feel free to reach out and connect on LinkedIn or email at lavaalex3 [at] gmail [dot] com. I look forward to collaborating and sharing ideas! Finally, check out my projects! <|endoftext|>
