Jon Saad-Falcon

I am a joint Computer Science Ph.D. and MBA student at Stanford University , advised by Azalia Mirhoseini and Christopher Ré. 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. Additionally, I worked as a Predoctoral Young Investigator at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), advised by Doug Downey.
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.
