Yunus S.

Yunus S. is an experienced professional with a strong background in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Yunus currently serves as the Vice President of Machine Learning at Redesign Health, where they lead the ML team in building a Large Language Model (LLM)-powered search engine for the US healthcare system. Additionally, they develop proof-of-concept LLM-powered applications to support new healthcare businesses. Prior to their current role, Yunus co-founded Amplyfi, a company that utilizes NLP and LLMs to automate newsfeeds and research reports. Yunus also played a strategic and advisory role for the ML team. At Roam, Yunus served as the AI Technical Lead, responsible for building the generative AI API for the Dynascore app, which composes and renders music based on video attributes. This app quickly gained revenue and recognition in the market. Additionally, Yunus has worked at Uber as a Technical Lead Manager and Senior Research Scientist at Uber AI Labs, where they led teams in developing machine learning algorithms for rideshare pricing and matching optimization. Yunus also focused on research projects involving generative ML and Bayesian extensions to GANs and VAEs. Earlier in their career, Yunus worked as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at comma.ai, implementing LIDAR segmentation and radar tracking for the development of ML models predicting steering controls during highway driving. Yunus also worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Vicarious AI, where they designed and implemented inference algorithms for computer vision models inspired by the biology of the neocortex. Prior to industry roles, Yunus pursued a PhD in Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge, focusing on scalable inference and learning algorithms for Gaussian processes. Yunus also completed their undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge.

Yunus S. attended the University of Cambridge from 2002 to 2010. The specific degree and field of study are not mentioned. Additionally, from 2006 to 2007, Yunus S. pursued a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Informatics at The University of Edinburgh.
