Jon Saad-Falcon

I am a joint Computer Science Ph.D. and MBA student at Stanford University , advised by Azalia Mirhoseini (Scaling Intelligence Lab) and Christopher Ré (Hazy Research). Previously, I was a research assistant at Stanford, advised by Christopher Potts and Matei Zaharia. I completed the joint B.S./M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech , where I was advised by Polo Chau and Diyi Yang.
I was supported by the Stamps President's Scholarship. I also worked as a Predoctoral Young Investigator at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), advised by Doug Downey. Additionally, I am a recipient of the Fulbright Scholarship and Gates-Cambridge Scholarship.
My research interests span across natural language processing, machine learning, information retrieval, and ML systems. I've had the privilege to collaborate with researchers and scientists at Stanford AI Lab, Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), and Goldman Sachs.
