Top SchoolAshish Hooda is a research scientist and PhD candidate at University of Wisconsin–Madison with eight years of experience at the intersection of security, privacy, systems, and machine learning. He has transitioned from industry roles at Microsoft, AWS, NVIDIA and internships at Google to research positions, culminating in a research scientist role at Google DeepMind and an ICML 2024 paper from his Google internship on LLMs for code. His work blends applied systems engineering with rigorous security/privacy research, often targeting practical ML systems and threat models. Based in Madison, WI, he brings hands-on product experience and academic depth, pairing high-impact internships and industry engineering roles with graduate research.
