Summary
Alex Bie is a research scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of privacy, robustness, and generative modeling, currently working on differentially private synthetic data at Google. He holds master's and bachelor's degrees in computer science from the University of Waterloo and has published multiple papers at NeurIPS and TMLR on topics including normalization for federated learning and private GANs. Past roles span industry research at NVIDIA and Huawei, applied federated learning and LLM fine-tuning pipelines, and theoretical work proving privacy-robustness theorems during graduate studies. Comfortable moving between theory and production, he has repeatedly bridged rigorous proofs with practical systems for privacy-preserving ML. Notably, he joined the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars program to deepen adversarial robustness expertise, reflecting a sustained focus on safe, reliable ML.
