Work Experience
Machine Learning Engineer | Accenture | Zurich, Switzerland | June 2022 - Present
- Team lead rapid prototyping projects using Gen(AI) tools, delivering end-to-end projects.
- Train image diffusion pipeline that generated novel, unseen 3D shapes 90% faster than conventional manual design methods, leveraging generative modeling algorithms of neural implicit fields.
- Build diffusion prototypes using fine tuning, in-painting, knowledge distillation - HuggingFace, Diffusers, AWS, Sagemaker, Gradio, etc..
- Apply computer vision models (YOLO, SAM, OWL, Pytorch, MONAI, Vision Foundation Models) for image classification and object detection in manufacturing, life sciences and energy sectors.
PhD Researcher | University of Bern | Bern, Switzerland | 2017 - 2022
- Led the integration of AI/ML technologies in cross-functional European teams from 3 different countries formed of engineers, radiologists and surgeons to implement data-driven decisions minimally invasive ablation treatments.
- Build statistical, mathematical and ML models using Python, R, and SQL to curate and analyze large, multimodal data including images (CT, MRI) and patient records from European patient clinical trials.
Senior Scientist & Technical Expert | CSL Behring AG | Bern, Switzerland | 2021 - 2022
- Programmed reproducible and repeatable analytics pipelines for automatic data quality controls of pharmaceutical drugs manufacturing processes.
- Developed and implemented efficient data processing pipelines in R and Visual Basic to streamline data analysis procedures, resulting in reduction of validation errors.
Junior Research Scientist | Philips Research | Eindhoven, Netherlands | 2016 - 2017
- Designed and implemented one custom front-end web application for image annotation and labeling (Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS) that sped up the data acquisition and pre-processin.
- Applied image processing and statistical methods for quantifying the effect of diet on people's facial appearance with statistical metrics.
