Summary
Abhishek Chaurasia is a machine learning leader with 11 years of experience who currently serves as Vice President of Machine Learning at CHAOS Industries after senior research roles at Micron and founding leadership at FWDNXT. He holds a PhD from Purdue and combines deep academic expertise in semantic segmentation and deep learning with practical product and research impact across semiconductor and startup environments. His work spans supervised and unsupervised neural networks for perception tasks (self-driving, AR) and a background in fuzzy logic, embedded systems, and robotics that gives him a rare systems-to-models perspective. At Purdue he taught deep learning and led research in image processing, and later translated that research into applied ML roles driving IP and prototypes at scale. Based in Seattle, he is comfortable bridging research rigor with engineering delivery and scaling ML teams in both corporate and founding-stage contexts. A detail that sets him apart is his early trajectory from embedded robotics to modern deep learning, which informs his focus on deployable, sensor-driven intelligence.
