Anuroop Sriram is an AI research and engineering leader with nine years of experience building production-grade machine learning systems across speech, vision, and chemistry/materials science. As a founding member of technical staff at Project Prometheus and former Research Engineering Lead at Meta FAIR, he has led self-supervised and multilingual speech efforts and steered AI for computational chemistry while also contributing to medical imaging projects like fastMRI. His open-source contributions to fastMRI — including a PyTorch-Lightning refactor, mask fixes, and educational notebooks — show a practical bent for both research engineering and developer enablement. Prior roles at Baidu, Twitter, and academic labs (CMU, IIIT Hyderabad) reflect a strong foundation in ML, NLP, and applied research. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he blends deep research expertise with hands-on engineering to move models from prototype to scalable pipelines. Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs rigorous experimentation with pragmatic system design, often surfacing tooling and documentation improvements that accelerate team impact.
