Summary
Aarash Feizi is a PhD student researcher at McGill and Mila with eight years of experience applying self-supervised learning to improve robustness against real-world and out-of-distribution data. His work spans academia and industry, including research roles at Google, ServiceNow Research, Recursion, and an adversarial-robustness internship at the University of Toronto. He focuses on bridging theoretical advances in representation learning with practical defenses for models deployed in noisy, adversarial settings. Based in Montreal, Aarash leverages a background in computer engineering from Sharif and graduate training at McGill to tackle reproducibility and robustness challenges. He is known for combining rigorous experimentation with attention to deployment-relevant failure modes, making his research directly translatable to production ML systems.
