Summary
Amrita Gupta is a Research Scientist at Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab with a decade of experience applying machine learning, computer vision, and discrete optimization to conservation and disaster resilience problems. She holds a PhD from Georgia Tech where she developed decision-focused models for flood-resilient road networks, invasive species control, and wildlife monitoring. Her background blends hands-on data engineering and human-in-the-loop tooling—built during a CameraTraps internship at Microsoft Research—with academic expertise in transfer learning, network science, and tensor methods. Based in Mountain View, she translates complex ecological and infrastructure challenges into deployable AI solutions that balance model performance with real-world constraints. An interdisciplinary thinker, she leverages optimization and ensemble techniques to turn scarce data into actionable conservation strategies.
