Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleksandr Nesterov is a Lead Data Scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of NLP and medicine, combining an MD/PhD background with deep applied ML expertise. He has led national-scale deployments of LLM-powered medical assistants (CLARITY, 120K+ users) and built AIRI’s internal LLM Inference Service to streamline research and production on Kubernetes with vLLM/Triton. His work pairs transformer fine-tuning, prompt engineering and uncertainty-aware decisioning to deliver clinically validated systems—publications at EMNLP and IJCAI report near-physician diagnostic performance and strong routing accuracy. Aleksandr has repeatedly advanced Russian biomedical NLP through datasets and benchmarks (RuCCoD, RuMedBench, RuMedNLI) and SOTA long-context models like Longformer and RuBioRoBERTa. He is skilled at closing the loop from dataset curation and clinician annotation to reproducible evaluation pipelines and production guardrails. Less obvious: he blends hands-on infrastructure building with clinical credentialing efforts, enabling models that both pass specialty exams and run safely in hospital workflows.
