Summary
Anna Susmelj is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in machine learning with six years of experience building large-scale video and audio representation systems and deploying multimodal embedding models at Google. With a PhD from ETH Zürich and postdoctoral work at ETH AI Center and Facebook AI, she focuses on unsupervised and self-supervised learning, domain robustness, and generative approaches for 3D and biomedical data. She has led applied ML teams as Head of AI at Biognosys, bringing research-grade methods into production while establishing CI/CD and MLOps practices. An ELLIS member and reviewer for ICML, ICLR and NeurIPS, she blends rigorous academic research with pragmatic engineering to optimize training pipelines and serving performance. Notably, her background spans hyperbolic-geometry methods for biological data to conditional diffusion for high-resolution 3D shape generation, reflecting a rare mix of theoretical depth and production impact.
