Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbdul Kreidieh is a software engineer and PhD-trained researcher who applies modern machine learning and reinforcement learning to real-world mobility and geospatial problems. With nine years of experience spanning UC Berkeley, Google Research, and YouTube, he has built simulation platforms for mixed-autonomy traffic, contributed to a major open-source RL traffic framework (flow), and helped run the first large-scale field demo showing automated vehicles can reduce congestion. He specializes in adapting ML algorithms to novel domains—combining hierarchical RL, geospatial reasoning, and statistical policy evaluation—and enjoys interdisciplinary teams that bridge research and production. Notably, his work has influenced both academic experiments and product-level systems, from congestion pricing studies to recommender-system RL at scale.
