Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAmir Mohtashami is a research scientist with 11 years of engineering and research experience, currently at Google DeepMind after a PhD at EPFL where he advanced foundations of large models. His work centers on extending inference to effectively infinite context lengths, multimodal/multi-speaker input handling, and strengthening reasoning and optimizer stability for faster, more reliable training. He has translated research into practice through internships and roles at Google and quantitative experience at D. E. Shaw, and has a track record in speech systems, neural architecture search, and applying second-order optimizers. Known for bridging theoretical insight with engineering, he often focuses on why current optimizers succeed or fail to design better alternatives. Based in Zurich, he brings deep academic rigor paired with hands-on system-building across industry and academia.
